Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote
After the success of our first year, the Waikura/Linwood-Central-Heathcote Community Board is delighted to again partner with the Canterbury Horticultural Society in the Edible and Sustainable Garden Awards in 2020.
This is an opportunity to recognise all types of food gardens great and small, new and established. We encourage innovative use of space, resources, and sustainable practices, and hope that these awards inspire people to start a new project and learn something along the way.
This event is a wonderful way to acknowledge and celebrate those local residents, schools and communities who are passionate about their gardens and their bountiful harvests.

The Waipapa/Papanui-Innes Community Board is committed to encouraging the growth of localised food production. The Board’s active and ongoing support for activities and initiatives that build strong and resilient communities is a priority.
We are also keen to support and grow our relationships with local primary schools championing the next generation to grow their own food, nurture their environment, themselves and others.
In partnership with the Canterbury Horticultural Society, the Edible and Sustainable Garden Awards programme within the Waipapa/Papanui-Innes Community Board area is a wonderful way to acknowledge and celebrate local residents, schools and communities that are passionate about their gardens and their bountiful harvests.

Waihoro/Spreydon-Cashmere
The Waihoro/Spreydon-Cashmere Community Board is delighted to partner with the Canterbury Horticultural Society in the Edible and Sustainable Garden Awards scheme in 2020 for our local residents, schools, families and community groups to acknowledge their efforts to produce food on their properties and in their gardens.
This is an opportunity to recognise all types of food gardens great and small. We are particularly interested in highlighting sustainability, as the Board is committed to ensuring the bounty of ecodiversity and well-being that flows from caring for our environment.
So, whether the vegetable patch, orchard, or rain garden in your yard or your neighbour’s, is new or long-established, do put in a nomination and join in with young and old gardeners across the neighbourhoods celebrating local food gardens.

Waipuna/Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board
Canterbury Horticultural Society welcomes the Waipuna/Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton Community Board to the Edible and Sustainable Garden Awards in 2020. Preparing your garden, planting seeds, growing vegetables and fruit successfully in your own garden is so rewarding and enables your family and friends to eat fresh, healthy vegetables and fruit regularly. More so than before, it is important to know where our food comes from. Our gardens do this for us and help us to stay fit at the same time. We always enjoy visiting the gardens each year and look forward to visiting the Edible Gardens in Halswell-Hornby-Riccarton.

President, Canterbury Horticultural Society
