# Overgrown Vegetation, 5 Bellows Cl, Canterbury, Christchurch 8025, New Zealand

Christchurch · filed 15 September 2025 · report 6894854
https://www.chch.live/report/6894854

> Many of the plants in this area of the stormwater swale have been overwhelmed by grass as they were planted (not by Council of course) without weedmat and upper protection. I was keeping up with the encroachment but a period of ill health intervened. We planted 3 good sized lancewoods but 2 of those fell to the weedwhackers. Could I meet someone to discuss a way forward? Many thanks, Neil.
