Te Ngaki o Waiutuutu (University of Canterbury Community Garden)
About
Te Ngaki o Waiutuutu is a relaxed creative and learning space where students, staff, and locals can get together. We have a working bee every Friday arvo where everyone is welcome, learn new skills, meet like minded people, and enjoy the fresh harvest. Since our beginning over 20 years ago, this tucked-away garden has a life of its own with plenty of veggies, fruit trees, shrubs, herbs, flowers. It is situated alongside the Waiutuutu Stream, which is a beautiful walk in itself due to the restoration of the riparian zone.
