Could you see and/or smell the smoke that wafted over Christchurch on Tuesday?
A Christchurch garden centre has apologised for a burnoff that caused a thick blanket of smoke to cover the city.
Oderings Garden Centre on Philpotts Rd, Mairehau, confirmed the smoke was coming from a controlled burnoff on its land.
The haze of smoke was first seen in central Christchurch just before 10am on Tuesday. It was still there at 11.30am.
Oderings marketing manager Pamela Smith said the company had thought it was allowed to burn organic plant material on its site.
"We can only hope that the people of Christchurch can accept our sincere apologies and understand that this was a genuine misunderstanding on our behalf," she said.
