Newcastle upon Tyne
For three years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Maple bus depot, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $2,050. It will serve about 146 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in November 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 $2,050 goes: • Materials: $1,300 • Permits and inspections: $170 • Safety equipment and signage: $370 • Tools hire and delivery: $210 Thanks for reading all this.

      Materials is $1,300 of it. Everything else is listed in the story and nothing outside that list comes out of this page. Thanks, that means a lot.

        Thinking of you, Keith. Your post was clear and honest. We had a similar scare last year, I know what it feels like

        • Corazon L. Magsaysay

          Good luck, Keith. I hope things turn around soon. Wish I lived closer to Cartagena so I could bring a meal. Blessings
