Dunedin vet giving away surplus veg

Afternoons - A podcast by RNZ - Joi

A Dunedin vet has filled her backyard with planter boxes and is putting surplus produce in a stall outside her gate for others to take home. Dr Helen Beattie posted in her local community page asking if people would be interested in veggies from her garden and, based on the overwhelming response, has planted excess. As well as being a vet, Helen runs a charity called Animal Welfare Aotearoa and earlier this year teamed up with advocates to deliver a petition calling for a National Food Strategy.
