Chris
& I have become very involved with the local community garden & Chris
has set up a crowd funding campaign to raise money to build a pavilion at the
garden for community use.
The
pavilion will have a BBQ, pizza oven, food prep & serving areas, seating,
water tanks, solar system, etc. An all weather meeting place & we hope to
raise $40,000 for it, if we pass that it will buy us a ride on lawnmower with
trailer, park benches & fruit trees. The garden is 1 acre in size so needs
a lot, we would love you to donate.
It is being
launched at the Sawtell Chilli Festival 1st July & I have enclosed a direct
link to the campaign site below for you to have a look at; check out the video,
I thinks it's pretty good.
We have
90 days to go.
I would
greatly appreciate it if you let all your email, facebook, twitter, instagram
& any other social media contacts you may have, know about it; the more
people who know the better our chance of success.
We had an
article on the front page of the local newspaper Wednesday 28th & here is a
link to the website.

Watching
it grow, plans for community garden
By Wendy Andrews
We're not creating a manicured botanic garden but hopefully a
community backyard, a place for everyone.

I did a 6 minute interview with Carla Mascarenhas on
ABC local radio & we now have a link on the ABC Coffs Coast Facebook
site.
On July the 8th Chris & I will be doing
an interview on local community radio 2 AIR FM with Steve McGrane, the garden
presenter.
Donate online or send me a “Comment” for direct
deposit details to the fundraising account.
