A community garden: a volunteer-led effort in Nottingham
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $1,800 for materials.

For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 26 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Cedar vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $1,800.
It will serve about 510 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in November and everyone is invited.
We're a small team, and every dollar will be spent in the open - I'll post receipts and progress photos.
Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered.
Where the $1,800 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $190
• Tools hire and delivery: $145
• Materials: $1,465
Thanks for being kind about this.

good luck. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Greetings from Manila.

Keep going. Great idea, hope you get there. Love from Kasarani.
Sending love, Peyton. Gave what I could, wish it was more. All the best
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day. Love from Arlington.
Best of luck, Peyton. More neighborhoods should do this. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like.
Best of luck. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I'm in nursing myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you.
take care, Peyton. It takes guts to ask. Well done. My daughter saw me on my phone and now she wants to give her pocket money.
Thinking of you and your family, Peyton. Gave what I could, wish it was more. I'm in engineering myself and wanted you to know we're cheering for you. All the best.
Thanks for sharing this, Peyton. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I'll check back for the next update
Sending love. This could happen to any of us. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings.
Thinking of you, Peyton. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Blessings.
stay strong. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I hope November is when things finally get easier.
