Victoria Square reopens in Christchurch, acknowledging the site's varied past
A significant piece of Christchurch's history has reopened to the public with the completion of earthquake repairs in Victoria Square.
About 100 people attended Friday's blessing and brief ceremony to reopen the public park, on the corner of Colombo and Armagh streets, after a 13-month, $7.6-million rebuild managed by Crown rebuild company Ōtākaro. Another $5.1m of work is still being completed on the roads next to the square and is due to be finished in May.
Some Choice News!
Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.
Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?
Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
