Merivale Community Garden is by the people, for the people. But convincing the people to help themselves is not always easy. In a society where asking is the polite thing to do, people are reluctant to dig in.
The group of devoted volunteers behind the garden want people to know that if they want food, they can help themselves. “People tend to think there is a catch, but the produce is free and it is for everybody,” says garden
manager David Harricks. Vegetables should be left to grow to full size and people can get involved and learn gardening if they want. But the food is there for those who want it. Full story on page 11. Photo: Daniel Hines.
