Yesterday We are Richmond co-hosted a working bee at the Swanns Rd Parklet (corner River Rd/Swanns Rd) along with Richmond Community Garden, Avon-Ōtākaro Network, University of Canterbury and the CCC Red Zone Rangers.

Volunteers planted so many plants, dug paths and gravel, made paths, and UC learned about the insects’ biodiversity. It will have a wildlife learning garden and edibles too!

Much ado about 10 Shirley Road

I say – why not give the community that asked for this what they want and seek other proposals for the Richmond Community FROM the Richmond Community.
