Friends of Risingholme seeks new members – the Christchurch City Council is seeking expressions of interest from people who are interested in forming a new group called “The Friends of Risingholme”. This group is for those who wish to donate their time to help with gardening at the park and also to those whose talents lie in periodically raising much-needed funds for the park’s many beautiful features.
To register your interest, please email Kate Russell (kate.russell@ccc.govt.nz) by 30th June 2021 or phone 941 6531. A public meeting of interested persons will be held in August.
