Let's build a community garden together in Albuquerque

Volunteers in Albuquerque are raising $4,050 for a community garden at the Pioneer health centre yard.

Albuquerque
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 11 volunteers, including a retired civil engineer, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Pioneer health centre yard, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $4,050. It will serve about 162 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. We'll hold a build day in October 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. Funds are spent only on materials, permits and safety equipment; all labor is volunteered. Where the $4,050 goes: • Materials: $3,100 • Permits and inspections: $270 • Safety equipment and signage: $340 • Tools hire and delivery: $340 Thanks for reading all this.
