Clear storm damage from Gilbert's garden in Sherbrooke
Garden rescue day in Sherbrooke: bring gloves and a rake.
🇨🇦 Sherbrooke, Quebec, Canada534 views
I'm 72 and I have lived in this house in Sherbrooke for 50 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 my hip replacement.
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.
I never thought I'd be the one asking, and I'm grateful for every bit of support.
