Let's build a community garden together in Columbus
A community-led a community garden at the Freedom vacant lot that will serve 544 neighbors.
🇺🇸 Columbus, Georgia, United States2,266 views
For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 13 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Freedom vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $3,250.
It will serve about 544 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in May 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 $3,250 goes:
• Materials: $2,350
• Permits and inspections: $360
• Safety equipment and signage: $155
• Tools hire and delivery: $385
You're what makes this possible, and I'll never forget it.

Hope things get better soon. Gave what I could, wish it was more. Love from Raleigh.
Is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Nolan.
Materials is $2,350 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks for asking.
More neighborhoods should do this. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. All the best.
Wishing you peace, Nolan. I hope things turn around soon. This is the second need I've supported on here and the first that made me cry.
everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Love from Gold Coast.
Shared this with my family. My neighbor in Gold Coast donated after I showed her your page. Love from Gold Coast
