Lamenting Auckland's shrinking gardens

From Standing Room Only, 12:39 pm on 30 August 2015

An Auckland artist is using his paintbrush to comment on the city council's determination to intensify housing.

Mark Wooller is particularly concerned at the disappearance of the traditional, quarter-acre section and people's once-abundant gardens.

In his exhibition Big Garden, Mark laments the removal of native trees and plants, and the paving over of fertile soils for housing developments.
