GREEN SCREENING

I would like to invite everyone to our first meeting for a community garden i am trying to initiate. Are you involved in any particular groups in the area. The more people you can bring, the better. I would like to get an idea from our first meeting, how many people would be interested in becoming involved. it would be a vege garden and orchard. I have a proposal draft i have been working on if you would like to contact me i will pass it through to give you a more thorough understanding. Like i said, the more people backing it the better. I need groups to make funding more viable. I am applying for funding this month however there are other funds available for June. I am working at the District council on a fixed term contract so am trying to get as much done as i can while im here. We will be meeting in the next couple of weeks. It is really looking viable as Council have reserves available that they could provide and funding, when i get the application perfect, should be a breeze. However all that doesn't work unless there is the community support.

I look forward to hearing from you. Keep up the good work.
