They don't call it the Garden City for nothing. A Facebook group has been running in Christchurch for around 8 years - it's called "Ch Ch Garden Group".

It has over 15,000 members who help each other out, identifying plants, solving gardening problems like defecating cats, DIY composting and how to make a raised bed.

Craig Tough is the man who started the group. He's a truck driver by day, but he has a passion for helping people create simple gardens. Craig tells the story.
