Involving the children in the construction of our community gdn

[Sahira Ward]

Hello Charles

I hope you are well and had a good day on the open gardens event.

Fund raising is hard in the current climate with that in mind.

Please can you tell me what you think of this idea.

I have been asked to go and speak at the local school and wanted to ask the children if they could bring to the site when we need to fill the raised beds a double wrapped carrier bag of the soil from their gardens after asking their parents permission. I would ask that the soil has never been treated with glyphosate or any other weed killer and that is should contain as many worms, and creepy crawlies that the children can find. We can then use it to mix with the manure that I use at my allotment. I have decided that we will not be using the acid soil improver from the Council.

Kind regards

Sahira
