Welcome to  Christchurch South

Community Gardens


Situated in Spreydon, these gardens are open to anyone interested.  Feel free to drop in at any time to look around the Gardens, and see what is going on. We recently changed our name from the Strickland Street Community Gardens - so that will take a while to get used to - however we are still on Strickland St - and right now flat out with repairs and maintenance, making compost and planning for Spring.
