Elderly Zhang’s beloved garden was destroyed by social housing. Help her restore her 10 year project that was destroyed with no warning

Canterbury

An award-winning vegetable patch at a Christchurch social housing unit has been ripped up – because of concerns about access to a washing line.

Zhang Wang has lovingly tended the garden at her Addington home for the past 10 years, with coriander, radishes and rare Chinese herbs growing in abundance.

Anyone who gardens will know this is absolutely devastating.

Donate here for Zhang to be able to replace her beloved garden and buy new planter boxes, compost etc. Lets give her her garden back ❤️

Posted with consent of the Wang family❤️
