The Official Launch

Sunday saw the arrival of the judges to our street for the initial ‘meet and greet’. A few of the street members were unable to make it due to prior commitments (we did only enter a week ago), but while the numbers were low, the enthusiasm was high.
The judges are:
Liana Stupples, special advisor to the Hikurangi Foundation
Joy Darke, Wellington region Gardener of the Year in 2010
Robert Glensor Owner of Paraoa Bakehouse, Sustainable Business of the Year 2008 winner, Organic Enterprise of the Year by Organic Aotearoa New Zealand, 2010.
Brenda Vale. Architect and academic concerned with sustainable architecture and lifestyles.

Also present were Councillor K Gurunathan (Guru) and Stacey Gasson who is coordinating the competition.

Rob sang us a wee song.

  
We’d like to thank the judges for taking their time to come and visit us and encouraging us.

And thanks to Joshua (8) for the photos and video.
