For eight years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including two retired carpenters, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Liberty community hall, but no funding. We have received donated soil and plants, and the remaining cost is $450. It will serve about 95 people, including school children and their families. We'll hold a build day in October 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $450 goes: • Materials: $360 • Permits and inspections: $45 • Safety equipment and signage: $25 • Tools hire and delivery: $20 I hope life is good to you. - Fe

  • hope it all works out. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. I have a 9 year old who wants to send good wishes too. All the best.

    • Praying for you, Fe. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. My late mom used to say help given quietly counts double. Blessings!
