Hello hello Pakenham!

GARDENING royalty Chris and Marie got their hands dirty in Pakenham last week.
The gardening duo, famous for their “Hello, Hello” television ads visited Jamie Court on Thursday to do a cottage garden makeover.
Homeowner Lea Zimmer won the garden makeover in a radio competition on the duo’s radio show on 3MP.
Chris, who was not wearing his usual tutu, told the Gazette the competition allowed him and Marie to go all around Melbourne and help people with a cheap and quick alternative to their tired gardens.
Ms Zimmer said it was the first time she called the radio station and couldn’t believe her luck when she won.
“I was pretty excited,” she said. “And now Chris and Marie are working on my garden.”
