Corinne told News Of The Area, “We are thrilled by this recognition, we moved here seven years ago and it was a house on a dirt block so we turned an interest in gardening into a consuming hobby, we would be lost without our garden.” Category One winners Debbie and Craig Martin have been in their home at Marian Grove for three years, and have transformed the block into an extensive garden, including a landscaped bank area. Craig said, “Gardening has been a lifelong passion for us, and when we moved here from our much larger block in Minnie Water, we just wanted to replicate that garden in miniature, and we are still working on it now.” The other home garden winners are: Category 1 Home garden, owner/occupier of strata or community title dwelling, Debbie & Craig Martin, 102/3 Marian Place, Toormina.
