Ken and Carolynne Stephens of Kaka Point cleaned up this week’s Silver Fern Farms Clutha Leader Local Legend.

The couple plant, weed, prune, dig, spray and maintain six roadside gardens to keep the seaside village looking cared for throughout the year.

They also helped found the Kaka Pt Community Group to help with big projects including the tennis courts refurbishment, steps to the beach, information panels and co-organising the Port Molyneux picnic area.

"We all like to see things tidy, so helping keep them tidy is something you can take hands-on responsibility for," Mrs Stephens said.

"It’s great to get compliments from council and visitors impressed how neat the town looks."
