A community-led a community garden at the Harmony vacant lot that will serve 222 neighbors.

For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 10 volunteers, including the parish youth group, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Harmony vacant lot, but no funding.
We have received donated paint, and the remaining cost is $750.
It will serve about 222 people, including children, seniors and people with disabilities. 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 $750 goes:
• Materials: $490
• Permits and inspections: $125
• Safety equipment and signage: $50
• Tools hire and delivery: $85
I'll pay this kindness forward the moment I'm able to.

is there a list of costs somewhere? Just curious how it adds up for Sérgio.
Everything on the list is an amount I've been quoted or invoiced. materials comes first ($490) and I'll update the page as each thing gets paid. Good question.
Sending strength, Sérgio. This could happen to any of us.
Take care, Sérgio. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Love from Glendale.
Hang in there. Hope this works out for you. The breakdown of costs made it easy to trust. God bless.
