In the words of Alan Cruise-Johnston, he and his wife Gillian went from “window box to quarter-acre” two years ago but their Boydfield St, Wanganui East, property shows a lot of tender loving care.
Their home “Cherilee” is strong on roses and companion planting, and they are firm believers in gardening the organic way.
