For five years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 21 volunteers, including local mothers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for Lotus Primary School, but no funding. We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $3,200. It will serve about 471 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. We'll hold a build day in September 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 $3,200 goes: • Materials: $2,150 • Permits and inspections: $230 • Safety equipment and signage: $330 • Tools hire and delivery: $490 Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot. - Gregory
