Lyn is a very keen, dedicated and knowledgable gardener, specialising in sub-tropicals. The quality of our garden is the result of constant TLC by Lyn, very capably and professionally assisted by Carolyn and Cherie (bless them xx) from C & C Garden Ventures, Woodlands Park Titirangi. Dave from 'Lawn Lizard' is a 'Master Craftsman' when it comes to looking after our lawns, a work of art every time. I look after the bush areas, much easier of course, and pour the cold drinks when ordered. Living in the Waitakere Ranges, northwest of Auckland City, we have a semi-tropical climate with a 40% higher rainfall than Auckland.
