Usually events like that only happen on Television, this time it happened in Mangawhai. What a great community to be part of!
What a reward to know at the end of the day to have done something that has been of great help! We all learn it when we are young to share and care for others, but in our busy lives we miss these little things that might create a big difference to someone else. Roger and Kyoko Gayford have been living in the Mangawhai community with their childr
en Marine and Dylan for as long as I can remember. They always have an open heart and I only know them as caring, loving and sharing their time w
ith others. A few years ago Roger, known as Tich has been diagnosed with cancer, but thanks to Kyoko has been very well until recently. They have just finished building their home and it has become harder for Tich to do the hard physical work. Every time I went up to visit my friends I looked at their garden and surrounding and thought to myself, how could we help them. The answer came, when another friend ask me, what we could do to get them back on track, me immediate response was…let’s do a Garden Makeover, just like the one they have on television. Kyokos birthday was just coming 
up, so the timing was perfect, to create more than a “great” birthda
y gift. I called a few friends and we started to make arrangement for a Mangawhai Garden Makeover. We started to collect plants and newspaper and I made sure that the ground works was done before the “Garden crew” arrived on the 24th of March. Each day the number of plants in my garden grew, more and more people were willing to help on Saturday. On the day Tich’s and Kyoko’s garden was buzzing with 25 adults and roughly 10 children. Everyone had a either a spade, mower or we
ed cutter in his hand and who didn’t was busy planting plant that had been thoroughly laid out by Nicki from “All season Landscape”. A finished touch with two loads of Bark was supplied by Jo and Rob from “Mangawhai Transport”. What a surprise when Kyoko came home that day! They were no words, only tears and smiles to be shared. The garden looked stunning and we were now ready to celebrate our “Mangawhai Garden Makeover” achievement as well as Kyoko’s birthday.
Happy birthday Kyoko and all the best to you Tich. We hope that you
will enjoy your new garden and that it will give you strength and energy to get better soon! We love you guys and we are all proud of our “Mangahwai community” and happy to share our love and care with others.
