Missing flowers
Sir, —Where have all the flowers gone? Would the Christchurch City Council please state their policy on plantings for both roads and parks? It appears to be based on shrubs, bushes and flax, with only a few exceptions, such as the colourful roundabout at Sumner and the partly res-
tored flower plots in Linwooa Avenue. Similarly, there does not seem to be any plan to replace the "tall” trees such as the stately redwoods and others destroyed in the 1975 gales. No doubt maintenance of flower beds is expensive, but are we to become the bush city rather than the garden city? — Yours, etc.,
B. J. WARD. January 24, 1986.
