Thursday January 13 2022 5 ROOM TO GROW: Neighbourhood Trust general manager Dan Hyzl says public input will help determine what the McFaddens Rd community garden will look like. PHOTO: STAR MEDIA Survey to determine what you want from neighbourhood garden • By Fiona Ellis PREPARATIONS are under way for a community garden aiming to help people grow together, physically and mentally. A survey is now open for those in St Albans, Mairehau, Shirley, or the surrounding suburbs to give input on the McFaddens Rd garden. Neighbourhood Trust general manager Dan Hyzl said opinions on the 130m2 garden will help shape the final outcome. “It’s a survey of what you would like in the gardens and maybe what you don’t need in the gardens. We’ll take everything into consideration,” Hyzl said. Non-profit organisation The Green Lab has partnered with the trust to help design the garden. In addition to vegetable • From page 1 “It’s a long stretch of road, there’s a lot of residential housing and that sort of thing. There’s demand for providing a safe walkway, for both cyclists and walkers.” Controlling traffic speed around neighbourhoods and schools was another priority, she said. Last year the board kick-started Avonhead and Russley Community Safety Initiative in collaboration with the Christchurch North Community Patrol, police, Neighbourhood Support Canterbury and Ilam MP Sarah Pallett. It carried out a survey beds, options such as a play area, composting facilities and a polytunnel for yearround growing are also being considered. The survey also asks who is interested in contributing to or benefiting from the garden, and how often they would use the garden. Those who the trust particularly aimed to help with the garden were young families, people isolated within the community, and those with mental health needs, Hyzl said. The outdoor space would provide a place to “grow together” and promote healthy eating. “There’s a lot of people in the community who might not be eating as healthy as they should, eating processed food.” In the future, the trust to identify safety concerns of people who lived in the area, which Williams said would be followed up this year. “We’ll see how we could put together some kind of community meeting or workshop to help residents and neighbourhoods look after themselves.” The board was now looking at expanding the safety initiative to Bishopdale and Strowan, although no date had been set for this. Improving community facilitates such as the public toilets at Bishopdale Mall would be another focus. Board priorities this year were a balance of core also hoped to offer cooking courses incorporating the produce grown in the community garden. “Lots of the ingredients from the community garden could be used for these cooking courses for different ethnic groups that are in our community as well.” Work towards clearing the garden site was under way, and Hyzl said he hoped a grand opening would take place sometime in April. He estimated the project would have a final price tag of between $8000-$12,000, and was pleased with the support it had received so far, including help from volunteers. A link to the survey, which closes on January 20, can be found on the Neighbourhood Trust facebook page. Speed around schools a priority services and social and environmental components, she said. This included Culture Galore, set to be held with board support in Ilam’s Ray Blank Park on February 19. “Organisations of the community from all different ethnicities come together and it’s a big celebration of culture.” It was likely to be another year of uncertainty owing to the Covid-19 pandemic. “The board would love to thank everyone, especially community groups and active citizens, for getting involved in their community during these difficult times.” ‘Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day.
