Hundreds support tenant who had her vege garden destroyed by her landlord
Zhang Wang’s vegetable garden destroyed on Monday when her landlord, Ōtautahi Community Housing Trust (ŌCHT), removed it without warning.
It said neighbours had raised concerns about the size of the garden and access to a washing line.
Wang had lovingly tended the garden at her Addington social housing unit for the past 10 years. She grew 14 kinds of vegetables and 13 varieties of rare Chinese herbs. One small patch of Chinese radish remains.
ŌCHT has “unreservedly apologised” for not telling Wang it planned to bring the digger in on Monday, but it stands by its decision to turn the garden into grass.
However, on Wednesday, ŌCHT tenancy operations manager Martin Pearce said the trust wanted to make things right and raised beds would be installed at the end of this week.
