Efforts in beautifying<br />

city recognised<br />

• By Bridget Rutherford<br />

THE PERSON tasked<br />

with keeping Christchurch<br />

beautiful has been<br />

recognised with a national<br />

award.<br />

Linda Keall won the<br />

Ruud Kleinpaste Award<br />

on Friday at the Beautiful<br />

Awards <strong>2017</strong>.<br />

It recognises a Keep New<br />

Zealand Beautiful member<br />

whose efforts go above and<br />

beyond to enhance the<br />

organisation’s mission.<br />

“It was a big surprise, it<br />

was really lovely,” she said.<br />

Ms Keall is Keep<br />

Christchurch Beautiful’s<br />

manager, and has been in<br />

the part-time position for<br />

about eight years.<br />

She co-ordinates cleanup<br />

events and volunteers,<br />

helps with graffiti eradication<br />

and funding, and runs<br />

environment education<br />

programmes in schools.<br />

<strong>The</strong> former chemistry<br />

teacher said she particularly<br />

enjoyed working in<br />

schools, acknowledging<br />

the work people did,<br />

and helping people get<br />

involved.<br />

When the Ellerslie<br />

International Flower Show<br />

was running in Christchurch,<br />

Keep Christchurch<br />

Beautiful entered in the<br />

flowerbed display.<br />

Ms Keall said she was<br />

particularly proud of an<br />

entry with Lincoln University<br />

students, which won<br />

bronze in the show’s last<br />

year in 2014.<br />

She said everyone could<br />

take some responsibility in<br />

caring for Christchurch.<br />

“We all live here, it’s for<br />

all of us if it’s nice. It’s really<br />

easy and it doesn’t take<br />

much energy.”<br />

Masterton was named<br />

the Most Beautiful City at<br />

the awards ceremony in<br />

Hastings, which is based<br />

on environmental action,<br />

heritage, community involvement,<br />

and tourism.<br />

But Ms Keall said it was<br />

good to be able to recognise<br />

different groups and<br />

places in the awards.<br />

“For me, I really like that<br />

it gets shared around.”<br />

Ms Keall’s award is<br />

named after Ruud Kleinpaste,<br />

a broadcaster and<br />

gardener known as <strong>The</strong><br />

Bug Man.<br />

She could not attend<br />

the awards ceremony on<br />

Friday because she was<br />

recovering from the flu.<br />

Ms Keall said in her<br />

spare time, she enjoyed<br />

spending time in her<br />

garden, with family, and<br />

walking her two labradors<br />

Kenya and Eva.<br />

Originally she fostered<br />

them before they trained<br />

to become guide dogs, but<br />

they were not suitable, so<br />

they came back to live with<br />

the family, she said.<br />

Keep New Zealand<br />

Beautiful chairwoman<br />

Alexandra Davids said the<br />

organisation was lucky to<br />

have Ms Keall.<br />

“We are looking at really<br />

pushing the awards<br />

throughout the country<br />

because there are so many<br />

amazing people out there<br />

doing fantastic work in<br />

their communities.”<br />

PROUD:<br />

Linda Keall<br />

said she was<br />

proud of a<br />

collaboration<br />

with Lincoln<br />

University<br />

students<br />

which won<br />

bronze in<br />

the Ellerslie<br />

International<br />

Flower Show. ​
