Inner-city gardeners will chain themselves to the fences of their beloved veggie patches if necessary to stop the planned demolition of the Collingwood Children’s Farm community gardens, starting on Monday, after an eight-month furore over the future of veggie gardening on the site.
Tears were shed during speeches from gardeners who claim the razing of plots would undermine the site’s history and their connection to the gardens which have provided about 70 riverside allotments to families to grow produce since 1979. The garden saga began last June when farm management announced the land needed to be cleared to start the gardens again from scratch after an external consultant’s report found there were unacceptable risks of visitors being bitten by snakes and impaled by star pickets.
“Gardening is about investment, right? You actually literally invest in the soil, you regenerate the soil, it’s a relationship to a place,” she said.
