A community garden for Union Park: help our neighbors in Marrakesh
Volunteers in Marrakesh are raising $500 for a community garden at Union Park.
Anywhere in the world1,324 views
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Union Park, but no funding.
We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $500.
It will serve about 338 people, including local farmers and market traders. We'll hold a build day in December 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $500 goes:
โข Materials: $370
โข Permits and inspections: $60
โข Tools hire and delivery: $70
Every share and every dollar helps.

Hope it all works out. This could happen to any of us. I'll check back for the next update. Greetings from Duque de Caxias.
Good luck. Your post was clear and honest. I hope December is when things finally get easier. All the best.
can I help in a way that isn't money? I'm near Marrakesh.
Thank you. If you're in Marrakesh I'll say if something practical comes up. For now sharing this is great. Thanks for looking so closely.
take care, Jamila. I hope things turn around soon
looking forward to the next update. Sent it to 11 people at work. Love from Kinondoni.
Hope it all works out. Looking forward to the next update. My father had a similar thing happen so this one hit home. Thinking of Marrakesh
Hang in there, Jamila. It takes guts to ask. Well done. I went through something like this 5 years ago and strangers helped me out. Take care.
Thanks for sharing this. More neighborhoods should do this. Take care
Hang in there, Jamila. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Sent it to 11 people at work. Thinking of Marrakesh.
