Community spirit alive and well in Karori

From Afternoons, 1:25 pm on 3 May 2023

When Karori resident Debbie Bidlake set about pruning some vines from her bank a few years ago, she could never have predicted the path it would lead her down.

It was during lockdown, and time slipped away on her. Before she knew it, she'd strayed onto public land.

When a passer by stopped and offered to help, Debbie's unintended good deed started to grow.

These days she's running a full-blown community restoration project. Debbie talks to Jesse about her passion for pruning!
