Local Legend Lindsay Alexander wins the Clutha Leader — Silver Fern Farms premium lamb leg for the last Leader in March.

"Lindsay works tirelessly at the Balclutha Community Garden and is happy to help with odd jobs for people," his anonymous nominator said.

"I always had gardens and it’s a pleasure now to go down any time I want to work, and pass on what I’ve learned," the retired trucker of 53 years said.

"The garden has 32 raised plots, which is a lot for mostly working people with families to manage.

"So volunteering there is excellent for anyone wanting a flexible way to offer something back to the community.

"I am very pleased to get the Local Legend, because Silver Fern Farms quietly does a lot to help out around the district, like supplying the community garden with their ‘super-dirt,’ which you see when you drive past Finegand."
