I'm trying to source food from people in the community who for instance have fruit or produce that is rotting .
Like fruit .
Vegetables .
Food that is useable to others who are going hungry .
Please feel free to drop off in the carpark food .
And this is a free service .
I did this as a child getting old fruit and cutting the bad bits out and using the good .
I love Christchurch and as a community this is actually really required .
Any donation no matter how big or small will be appreciated by someone .
There are boxes by my Ford focus in the carpark .
Please if you have food going to waste bring it around .

We are currently very short of stock and keen to buy any of these or similar items.

Please see us at any of the multiple venues in the Canterbury area.

Buying now at a venue near you deal with the specialists.

Cancellations on the New Zealand Alpine Garden Society and botanical expo FB pages on Wednesday before.

Avon Floral Art is running a competition to select the participants for the National Floral Artist of the Year. Get up close to their work and be surprised by the creativity of the artists. These are talented people who are prepared to share their skills - they will be running workshops during the weekend to show us how to achieve professional results with ease.

The New Zealand Alpine Garden Society is a club for plant enthusiasts. We just love plants! And while we are especially attracted to smaller plants that fit so well into compact troughs and gardens we also adore woodlanders, bulbs of all types ,plants that like it dry and our own stunning natives.
