A day in the garden: help Skylar in Austin
Garden rescue day in Austin: bring gloves and a rake.
🇺🇸 Austin, Texas, United States1,697 views
I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Austin for 22 years. After the storm in July, two large branches and a fallen fence have blocked the back door and the garden path. I can no longer manage them myself because of a recent fall.
The council has told me it will be ten weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: someone with a chainsaw, plus a few people with rakes and gloves. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thank you so much.
