Evolving . . . Waitaki Community Gardens site and volunteer co-ordinator Ra McRostie is excited about starting the next phase of the gardens, through a community tree planting day. PHOTO: KAYLA HODGE An opportunity to weave a personal connection into the legacy of the Waitaki Community Gardens is being presented to the community. The gardens site is expanding and a community native planting day is being held to get things started. The new area, next to the existing site in Chelmer St, had a connecting gate added last week, and a large mound had been created at the new site as a base for a “folk school”.
