Roimata Community Food Hub

Michael from Woolston

The Roimata Community Food Hub project is in its early stages, but we already have the support of CCC and the local community board. An initial committee has been formed (to do things like creating petitions!), and we have some beginning ideas for the gardens:

× Fruit that tastes like "real" fruit: We have already been offered some heirloom fruit trees to plant in July/August to kick-start the community orchard...
× A rainwater harvesting system to provide water for the gardens...
× Storage sheds and tunnel housing for crops and seedlings, so we can grow all year round...
× A food preparation area for community food events, picnics, etc...
× Composting systems to recycle garden waste back into the gardens...
...And we're excited to get other ideas from the community.

Sounds great. How do we make this happen?

The first thing we need is a show of support from the community: Both the Woolston community and the wider Christchurch community.

By signing this petition you will be showing your support and enthusiasm for the Roimata Community Food Hub, and all the opportunities and benefits that come with.

All you have to do is add your name to this petition to show your support. No other commitment is required: You're not signing up to volunteer. We're just looking for a show of hands to say "Yes, this is something we want in the community!"
