Ive managed to meet the groundsman at the composting section, who gave me permission to move some rubble and a mound of black soil (bit clayish but great for growing grass, seeing as its covered in grass). This soil is also coming in handy in my efforts to rebuild the slope and prevent it from washing away I am using bottles here too.
It is unfortunate that most of the people who were so excited and wanted to meet and assist when I started were more talk than action. I made it very clear that this was not a community garden, and that it would become one or lead into more veggie orientated planting once my herbal tea and medicinal plants were established. Despite that, many came looking for opportunities to make money or promote their companies using volunteers. Others have left me waiting in vain, not bothering to cancel or confirm and delaying action till I am done with the the task. Also despite, this the bulk of the volunteers who have assisted have not been local or from Greenside at all. What is the problem? Do we want community or not? If a community cannot support and assist one person how on earth will it ever support itself as a community?
I am still busy with my couch, and slope. I am also organizing and planning workshops that will start occurring every two weeks from the 25th April on the premises. The tap and box were installed this past Saturday, which is great, as I no longer have to stress about the tools I hid in the Ivy and under bags being stolen, or the rely on the rains as much.
One beautiful family from Springs area that have gone the extra mile to assist me, not for exposure, money or anything or reason it seems. Simple kindness, beautiful. May they be blessed with much joy and love for a start
