NOR’WEST NEWS Latest Christchurch news at www.star.kiwi 11 <strong>News</strong> Tuesday <strong>October</strong> <strong>10</strong> <strong>2017</strong> Local <strong>News</strong> Now ‘Explosion of colour’ rewards gardeners Fire rages, homes at risk • By Julia Evans THE LOVELOCKS have done it again. Northwood residents Brian and Janet Lovelock came away with the premier gold at this season’s spring gardening awards from the Canterbury Horticultural Society. The couple also added two gold awards from the Christchurch Beautifying Association’s spring garden awards to their collection in the open and secret garden categories. “We’re pretty proud, we’ve always been big gardeners,” Mrs Lovelock said, they spend almost every day outdoors. She said the trophies will be put in a display case at their house until they have to be returned for the next round of summer judging. Which she said the pair are already working towards. “Some of my seedlings are already coming up. It never stops,” Mrs Lovelock said. Although the Lovelocks spend every day in the garden together, they wouldn’t often be caught sitting out there having a cup of tea. “If we sit out there, we always spot something that could be better or needs to be fixed and keep working,” she said. But Mrs Lovelock said there is nothing more rewarding than their garden. “You get the tiniest handful of seed and watch it turn into an explosion of colour in the garden displays,” she said. The Lovelock’s spring award winning garden included tulips, polyanthas and shrubs like rhododendrons and azaleas. But come November they’ll be pulling out the annuals and planting their summer garden.
