Hedge cutting upsets
Waimarino Hos-r pital staff arrived at work Tuesday last week to find Wanganui Area Health Board gardeners ripping out one of the hospital hedges. The hedge was between the entrance and exit driveways to the hospital and served as a
screen between hospital and mortuary. The gardeners pointed out that the hedge itself was nearly dead and most of the green in it was ivy, which was killing the hedge. They said a fence would be put in place of the hedge within two weeks. "We knew they (the board) were talking about doing it but we
didn't know they'd made a decision," said one staff member. "We're tired of being treated like poor country orphans by the board, they should tell us what's going on," said another. An independent garden expert the Bulletin spoke to said it was true ivy would kill a hedge, leaving a mass of ivy with no support.
