Acacia Park needs a community garden - Samantha's neighborhood project
A community-led a community garden at Acacia Park that will serve 361 neighbors.
🇨🇦 Canada2,056 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 19 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Park, but no funding.
We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $2,350.
It will serve about 361 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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.
All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance.
Where the $2,350 goes:
• Tools hire and delivery: $400
• Permits and inspections: $190
• Materials: $1,760
Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly.

This could happen to any of us. My neighbor in Puebla donated after I showed her your page
hang in there. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in.
Sending love, Samantha. I hope things turn around soon. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust
you're not alone. Looking forward to the next update. Read this on the bus and kept thinking about it all day
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Wish I lived closer to Laval so I could bring a meal. Love from Pune.
