Community Gardening at Dovedale



"The concert" is a big event being put on in Christchurch where several bands from New Zealand and one big name band (still unannounced) will play- but the only way to get a ticket is to volunteer 4 hours of your time. Brad coordinated a project for up to 30 people to come to the community garden where he regularly volunteers. It was a big success and over 30 people ended up coming. New beds were dug, a path was made, posts were painted and the whole garden was weeded. A fun day to get people excited about getting together to garden, and volunteering in general (with enough turnips dug up to feed an army!)

  2. Yes it's quite nice. Really only root vegetables grow all year (and lettuce) but that is better than nothing!
