Let's build a community garden together in Coventry
A community-led a community garden at Acacia Primary School that will serve 516 neighbors.

For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 8 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Acacia Primary School, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $2,000.
It will serve about 516 people, including young people who have nowhere safe to play. We'll hold a build day in January 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 $2,000 goes:
• Safety equipment and signage: $155
• Materials: $1,550
• Permits and inspections: $295
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

sending strength, Brandon. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes.
Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. We're a small family in Nakhon Ratchasima but we're thinking of you
hope it all works out, Brandon. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking
Hope it all works out, Brandon. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. I have a 11 year old who wants to send good wishes too. Greetings from Medellín.
Praying for you, Brandon. Projects like this are what make a place worth living in. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. God bless.
