Let's build a community garden together in Montréal

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 Acacia Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated timber, and the remaining cost is $2,650. It will serve about 184 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in August 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 $2,650 goes: • Materials: $2,000 • Permits and inspections: $130 • Safety equipment and signage: $360 • Tools hire and delivery: $160 I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.
