Clear storm damage from Carla's garden in George
Garden rescue day in George: bring gloves and a rake.
🇿🇦 6532, George, Western Cape, South Africa953 views
I'm 85 and I have lived in this house in George for 24 years. After the storm in September, 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 poor eyesight.
The council has told me it will be twelve weeks before they can send someone. I'd feel much safer if it were cleared sooner.
Help needed: a small team to cut, stack and carry away branches. I'll provide tea, sandwiches and the green waste bags. A few hours will do.
Thank you for reading my story.
