Recognising edible gardens in Linwood-Central-Heathcote

After the success of our first year, the Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board is delighted to again partner with the Canterbury Horticultural Society on the Edible Garden Awards in 2020. 

This is an opportunity to recognise all types of food gardens great and small, new and established. We encourage innovative use of space, resources, and sustainable practices, and hope that these awards inspire people to start a new project and learn something along the way.

This event is a wonderful way to acknowledge and celebrate those local residents, schools and communities who are passionate about their gardens and their bountiful harvests.

Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board

Canterbury Horticultural Society is pleased to join with the Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board for the second year running in holding your Edible Garden Awards. We know that many of you enjoyed taking part and sharing your knowledge with other like-minded gardeners. The pleasure and health benefits of creating your own garden to produce fresh, healthy food for the family and friends is so rewarding.

We look forward to meeting you again this year and visiting the wonderful edible gardens in Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote.
