For ten years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 12 volunteers, including a group of teenagers, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the Maple community hall, but no funding. We have received donated a pump, and the remaining cost is $3,350. It will serve about 444 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. All purchases will be made by two volunteers and logged publicly. Surplus funds will go to maintenance. Where the $3,350 goes: • Materials: $2,850 • Permits and inspections: $120 • Safety equipment and signage: $130 • Tools hire and delivery: $250 If you can't give, please share this page. It does reach people.

  • Thinking of you. Reading this made my day a bit heavier but I'm glad I did. Thinking of Los Angeles.

    • you're not alone, Julieta. Hope this works out for you. Wish I lived closer to Mardan so I could bring a meal.

      • So sorry you're going through this, Julieta. Everyone deserves a bit of help sometimes. Blessings.
