The old Cedar bus depot needs a community garden - Aadhya's neighborhood project
We have the land, the volunteers and the plan for a community garden - we need $800 for materials.
🇺🇸 United States1,517 views
For twelve years the neighborhood has asked for a community garden. This year a group of 23 volunteers, including the neighborhood football club, decided to stop waiting. The council has given permission for the old Cedar bus depot, but no funding.
We have received donated tools, and the remaining cost is $800.
It will serve about 581 people, including elderly neighbors living alone. 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 $800 goes:
• Permits and inspections: $410
• Tools hire and delivery: $190
• Safety equipment and signage: $200
Thanks for being kind about this.

Thinking of you, Aadhya. I've been in a tough spot myself and it does get easier. Blessings
Hope things get better soon, Aadhya. Shared this with my family. Don't be hard on yourself for asking. Take care.
thanks for sharing this, Aadhya. Your post was clear and honest. Our whole street has been following this since the weekend. Take care
Sending good thoughts. Your post was clear and honest. I told my book club about it and three of them are giving too. Thinking of Los Angeles.
Sending good thoughts, Aadhya. Great idea, hope you get there. After 10 years in retail I know how hard it's to ask for anything.
