Friends and family of the Victoria Gardens Fruit and Veg store in Motueka helped to clean up after the hail storm and tornado that damaged their crops and installations.
COLUMN: The tumultuous 2020 certainly ended in this region with an exclamation mark in the form of an extreme hail storm in Motueka and surrounding areas on Boxing Day. My heart goes out to all those hard-working horticulturists who managed their way through the Covid-19 restrictions to help put food and drink on our tables only to be rewarded with the total devastation of their crops at the end of the year. They must be wondering what they have done wrong to deserve this – and I say absolutely nothing, in fact the horticulture sector has been a hero in the last 12 months.
