For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 22 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Baobab Park, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,850. It will serve about 366 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $2,850 goes: • Materials: $2,200 • Tools hire and delivery: $520 • Permits and inspections: $130 Every share and every dollar helps. - Colton

  • Gave what I could, wish it was more. We're a small family in Saket but we're thinking of you. Blessings.

    • So sorry you're going through this, Colton. Shared it with a few friends. All the best.

      • Take care. It takes guts to ask. Well done. Sent it to 8 people at work. God bless!
