Edible Paradise: Growing the Food Forest Revolution Filming Locations
Christchurch, known for its English heritage, is located on the east coast of New Zealand’s South Island. Flat-bottomed punts glide on the Avon River, which meanders through the city centre. On its banks are cycling paths, the green expanse of Hagley Park and Christchurch Botanic Gardens. In 2010 and 2011, earthquakes destroyed many of the historic centre's stone-built buildings.
Waitati, from the Māori Waitete, is a small seaside settlement in Otago, New Zealand, within the city limits of Dunedin. It is located close to the tidal mudflats of Blueskin Bay, 19 kilometres north of the Dunedin city centre. The small Waitati River flows through the bay to the sea.
Edible Paradise: Growing the Food Forest Revolution (2018)
Edible Paradise captures the birth of the food forest movement in New Zealand. With people and communities coming together, to connect and grow. Nowhere is the opportunity to come together to actively grow our future more evident than in Christchurch, a city struggling to rebuild after the devastating February 2011 Earthquake. This natural disaster destroyed almost 80 percent of the city's buildings and left hundreds of hectares of prime land unable to be rebuilt on. After the houses were removed from the 'red zones' some people in the city had the vision to turn Christchurch, the 'Garden City', into an 'Edible Garden City of the Future.' This shift in thinking had its challenges and this film shares the journey of convincing the Christchurch City Council to turn over a new leaf by supporting the public planting of fruit and nut trees in hundreds of parks and reserves; turning the often marginal land into an Edible Paradise.
