The Christchurch South Community Gardens began developing in 1999 on a site in Sydenham.

It is now a key project of the Christchurch South Community Gardens Trust, which includes the community gardens, a recreational site, a resource centre and other extension projects in the community.

Waste Minimisation

Drop your kitchen waste to be made into compost and used on the gardens.

  • Please place your full bucket with lid at the collection point for processing.
  • Place a tile on the lid of the bucket to prevent entry by animals.

How can you help?

Volunteering is great but if time is not in your hands and you are unable to garden, a donation for plants and produce can be made at the donation/koha box on the front shed.

 

We are on the lookout for new board members. 

No experience required, just eagerness and a desire to help.
