Garden award ‘a surprise’
• By Emily O’Connell
FOR MARILYN and Dave
Cable, being named as the
overall winners in the Rolleston
Residents’ Garden Competition
came as a surprise.
The competition, which
encourages people to beautify
the town through gardening,
attracted 34 entries this year.
Unable to spend as much time
in the garden as they would have
liked, Mr and Mrs Cable didn’t
feel confident going into the
contest.
In spite of this, the couple won
the large garden category and
became the overall winners.
They have been entered every
year since 2011 and Mrs Cable
says she just “loves” gardening.
She said Mr Cable does the
“lawn, edges and hedges” and
she does the rest.
“It gives me an opportunity
to get the garden tidied up to
a reasonable standard, it gives
me a date that I need to work
towards,” Mrs Cable said.
Competition president
Brenda Dunlop said this year’s
competition went “really well”
and they were “impressed” with
the standard of gardens entered.
A prize-giving was held last
week for winners at Lemonwood
Grove School. Mayor Sam
Broughton helped present the
awards.
