A Heartwarming Update from the Silverstream Community ✨
A couple of months ago fellow Silverstream Resident Mark Hoddinott noticed one of his neighbours gardens had got away on them due to poor health and decided he wanted to help out. He reached out to the community through the Silverstream Kaiapoi Community Group and received an outstanding response.
Silverstream residents spent a sunny weekend clearing the wild flowers and weeds that had taken over the garden and were able to lay down a new lawn and decorative easy care plants. What an impressive effort!
Urban Revival put on a nice spread for the volunteers and what started as a group of strangers helping out a neighbour, ended up as a group of new friends.
It is so wonderful to see our community coming together to help each other when times are tough.
