Great thinking Suzanne! Our community garden here in Invercargill is also on 'waste' land (

Hi,
I'm advocating for some of the now vacant lots (thanks to the earthquake) in Christchurch to be converted to community gardens, allotments (rented), market or demonstration gardens. Please contact me if you are interested. Further, while this is not related to vege garden type actvities, you may be interested in this below:
Ten days ago The Press published a letter in which the Regional Biodiversity Coordinator set out the opportunity for communities to collaborate to temporarily re-vegetate spaces left derelict by the Canterbury earthquake with native plants and shrubs, while their future uses are determined? Such a project would allow, he suggested, Christchurch communities to weave a response to the earthquake that merged rejuvenation and repair with the themes of the International Year of Biodiversity.

The feed-back to this letter has seen an overwhelmingly positive response from a range of people and bodies. There is interest, inspiration and initiative to move this into a firm proposal, including the opportunity to undertake a pilot project at an inner city site.

I would like to bring interested parties together to discuss this particular opportunity and others that may exist and how to develop something that is inclusive of the communities and the events that they have experienced.

If you are of a positive spirit and keen to bring forward ideas and support, please join us at the meeting.
