BY CATHY ASPLIN

Gardening is a way of life for Te Awamutu couple Lachlan and Wendy Chambers. Lachlan is a gardener at Highfield Estate, while Wendy has been a familiar face in the Mitre 10 Mega garden centre for 24 years. So it comes as no surprise they also have a wonderful garden. While they like slightly different styles, their small town garden has been developed over 14 years. “It’s a constant evolution really. “We both have a passion for gardening as we come from gardening families. But we only have one day to share when we aren’t working, so the garden also has to be reasonably low maintenance,” says Wendy. Lachlan loves pots and previously worked for a company selling them, so the garden features a large number and variety of impressive pots. The plantings have caught the eye of passers-by in the past and Lachlan Chambers working on the pump for the new pond in his and his wife Wendy’s the Chambers have been asked garden, which features in this year’s Altrusa Te Awamutu Home and Garden Ramble. several times to be part of a Photos / Cathy Asplin garden ramble.
