'Hi, it's Jim Mora from Mucking In and we'd love to give you a new garden ...'
For nearly 10 years, New Zealanders have been thanking those amazing individuals with the biggest hearts, the most generous natures, and (often) the most neglected gardens, by nominating them for Television One's premier garden makeover show, Mucking In. Jim and the team, which now includes garden designer Tony Murrell, have been working with communities throughout New Zealand to surprise, amaze and delight viewers and garden recipients alike, as friends, colleagues and neighbours come together to show how much these unsung heroes are cherished and appreciated.
To celebrate, Jim and Tony share a selection of highlights, garden designs and tips from the last three series, including some of the behind-the-scenes magic that has transformed gardens for the people who transform others' lives.
First published April 2009.
