New "tearoom" in Waimate Community Garden. What are your thoughts?
A community garden's presence continues to grow in Waimate with the construction of a tearoom offering shelter and "a cuppa out of the wind".
The new tearoom will feature a sink, storage space for a barbecue, seating and be supported by a 1000 litre tank that collects rainwater from the roof. Wastewater will be collected in tubs and feed kiwifruit plants.
What do you think of this new idea? Have you benefited from the community gardens? If so, how?
