The Food Resilience Network are in the process of building Ōtākaro Orchard, an edible park in the centre of Christchurch.

The Ōtākaro Orchard will be New Zealand's first urban food hub. Located in the heart of the Avon River Precinct between the Town Hall and Margaret Mahy Playground; it will be a place where visitors can gain knowledge and inspiration about sustainable food systems in practice.

The group is currently running a Pledge Me campaign to raise money for this project which closes on 31st March 2017. Follow the link above for more information about this project and an opportunity to support them via a pledge or just to raise awareness about this exciting project!
