Clear storm damage from Tarık's garden in Istanbul
Garden rescue day in Istanbul: bring gloves and a rake.
🇹🇷 Istanbul, Istanbul, Türkiye947 views
I'm 78 and I have lived in this house in Istanbul for 42 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 eight 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.
Glad we found this place.
