Packe Street Park and Community Garden - Open Day
The Canterbury Community Gardens Association are hosting open days at seven gardens across the city during the Heritage Festival.
Come along and visit this community garden and learn about its history and purpose from the people involved.
Our small garden wonderland was a pioneer of community green space in Ōtautahi around 30 years ago. It stands as a living green monument to the power and persistence of a thoughtful, future-thinking, and passionate community group.
An old walnut tree presides over our site, a thickset native broom specimen lovingly lurks on the sidelines, and old pear and apple trees still hold centre stage as remnants from the backyards of former houses that used to occupy this site.
We are kaitiaki of numerous natives, fruit trees, vegetable plots, and various flowers and herbs. We work alongside the Council who maintain the open grassy spaces and swing set and there is a picnic table and bench for visitors to sit and ponder their surrounds.
