A sign in a garden with text about Bill and Di's Garden at 373 River Road, surrounded by greenery and flowering plants.

This garden at 373 River Road was Bill Wilmott and Di Madgin’s Garden. Their house and land were red zoned after the 2011 earthquake, but they kept the garden maintained. Both Bill and Di have since both passed on but it looks like the garden is still getting some love.

Here’s an article about Di and her garden – along with a video. What a lovely and special lady she clearly was. https://www.1news.co.nz/2018/02/22/im-just-connected-to-it-former-red-zoner-still-tends-garden-seven-years-after-quake/

A well-maintained garden featuring blooming flowers, a large deciduous tree, and a grassy area under a partly cloudy sky.
