Mushroom area to sprout in former red zone - a good idea?
Happy Monday neighbours,
A mushroom-themed education, play and foraging area will sprout in Christchurch's red zone in the coming months.
The Mushroom Room will feature at least six different native and exotic species of edible mushrooms for foragers, art by local artists, engaging play pieces, and interactive signage to educate people about the fast-growing fungi.
Christchurch City Council announced the plans on Monday and the project has received a $19,600 grant.
The purpose is to educate people on the fungi as well as attracting more use of the red zone land and encouraging visitors.
The project will be on the corner of Evelyn Cousins Ave and River Rd in Richmond and is expected to be completed by April.
