Wednesday June 9 2021 Selwyn Times Latest Canterbury news at starnews.co.nz NEWS 7 Uncertain future for community garden Students help with farm clean-up • By Susan Sandys THE FUTURE of the Lincoln Community Garden is under threat as the town’s maternity hospital prepares to close. The 800sqm garden, managed by the charitable trust Lincoln Envirotown, is on land at the hospital site, made available by the Canterbury District Health Board. The CDHB has applied to the Ministry of Health for permission to dispose of the land as it plans to relocate the hospital’s services to Selwyn Health Hub next year. Lincoln Envirotown project manager Dave Fitzjohn said the CDHB had indicated to the trust that it would give it six months notice in the event of it having to move. It had not yet received the notice. Fitzjohn believed it was highly unlikely the garden would be able to stay at the location. “I think once the community has a community garden, you should really try and keep it somewhere because it’s very hard to turn the clock back and establish a new one,” Fitzjohn said. ESTABLISHED: The popular Lincoln Community Garden. He hoped the garden could be established elsewhere. The trust would be on the lookout for land that another organisation, such as a church or the district council, could provide. He said the garden was a venue for many Envirotown workshops and working bees. Its produce helped feed the community. Volunteers harvested fruit and vegetables, giving these away to people in need and selling them at the workshops with funds going to Envirotown. Lincoln Kindergarten also has plots at the site. Structures include a small glass house, archway and CDHB-owned garden shed. • Maternity hospital letter page 10 Darfield High School launched their own version of the student volunteer army following the catastrophic Canterbury floods. “Many hands make light work,” said their principal Andy England. That was the ethos behind about 70 senior students getting out onto surrounding properties, particularly along the Hawkins River, and in the Sheffield and Springfield areas. On Thursday and Friday the students visited 12 farms, assisting the farmers with reinstating fences and clearing them of debris. Meanwhile, Selwyn MP Nicola Grigg and former Christchurch Central National candidate Dale Stephens have set up a Givealittle page called Manaakitanga: Feed and Seed to help flood-devastated Canterbury farmers and their animals.
