help the market garden to florish this season

Hi, if you can help with a pledge of your support can help email me at laurencesn@blueyonder.co.uk

As a brief, I have taken on the formation of a 2 acre plot of ground that was a community garden within East Malling Research on land they allocated from their 500 acre estate in Kent. I have their support to establish a market garden based on 'Community Supported Agriculture' lines, that is people join as a member, receive discounted veg and produce and can come along to learn new skills if they want. We aim to have this set up in September but until then I need funds to establish and pioneer this season. We have the support of the Plunkett Foundation who work with new community co-operatives to produce local food.

Any sum over £10 is appreciated, I can offer of a box (or perhaps more) of seasonal veg and other produce for all donations over £25.

Need donations towards our project expenses. All are appreciated to enable progress this season as a new and independent Community Supported market garden (CSA).

There is the offer of a box (or perhaps more) of seasonal veg and other produce for all donations.

Also a free subscription to our market garden once registered for all pledges of support for our project over £50, (as well as the box of veg and produce).

You can paypal flowforms@gmail.com or direct 'bank-to-bank' (ask for details) or cash
