For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 30 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Baobab community hall, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,850. It will serve about 100 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 $3,850 goes: • Materials: $2,750 • Permits and inspections: $110 • Safety equipment and signage: $450 • Tools hire and delivery: $540 Please ask me anything in the questions section. I'll answer honestly and quickly. - Katherine
