Rainwater Garden Planting Session on Stanmore Road

Sep 27, 2022 | Active Richmond, Healthy Richmond, RR&BA

Last week, We are Richmond held a rainwater planting event. It complements the mural completed earlier this year, by Nick Lowry, a talented local Christchurch artist, on the side of Graphic Addiction, 330 Stanmore Road.

The mural and rain garden will bring beauty and pause on the often-busy Stanmore Road.

Please go and visit the garden for a small moment of peace and serenity.

Thank you to Trees for Canterbury for their generous donation of plants to fill the rainwater garden.

And thank you to Nick Lowry for your amazing artwork that will brighten Richmond!
