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.
