Greening the Rubble is planning to make a native wetland garden on the corner of Armagh and Madras Streets.
Potential Wetland Garden
There’s running water from a bore, and in pre-European days there was a stream close by. This will be a great addition to the central city’s eastern frame.

how it might have looked long ago,”

What a fine idea to return to “nature”. I wonder if Pukekos and ducks will find their way to the Wetland once established.

I’m sure ducks will quickly find their way there. Pukeko as well would be wonderful.

It’s not so long since the city was all a swamp.

What a good plan. Wetlands are so important, and it sounds as if this one will be self-sustaining.

It will be most interesting to see how it develops.

It’s already looking suitably wet 🙂

It’s been like that for weeks, and I had thought it was a problem with drainage.
