Fairy village at Christchurch forest to be relocated - help needed
A touch of magic that sprung up in a Christchurch forest during lockdown has to be relocated.
Hundreds of mini fairy homes appeared on trees at Bottle Lake in April, adding to a small pre-existing collection.
Where the creations first came from remains a mystery, but making them became a popular pastime for children and families during lockdown, and now they need to be moved due to logging in the area.
Christchurch City Council has set up a working bee for 10am on Tuesday 29 September, where families are invited to help with the relocation.
“They’ve brought a touch of magic to the forest,’’ forest ranger Warren Hunt said.

Alstroemeria corms
I’m altering part of my garden (for dahlias) and have some yellow/orange alstroemeria corms to give away. They last up to 2 weeks as a cut flower but do love to spread.
