Gigi writes in her thank you letter:

Jo and Dylan explain their designI spend alot of time lamenting the failure of collective action in the work on climate change that I do. Well, Sunday was a fantastic reminder of what can be achieved when excellent people get together with good leadership, good will, a good plan and good food. There was such positive energy which made the hard work almost enjoyable.

We went from a garden full of jackhammer rubble, plastic detritus, bare earth and unturned soil to the first stages of a garden oasis.

We brought to life Jo’s delightful curved garden path, despite the tough ground underneath.

Thanks to Dylan’s magnificent ramp and your hard labour we managed to transport 8 cubic metres of organic compost and another 8 cubic metres of mulch onto the garden beds. Adam tells me he didn’t think it could all be done.

We did the hard job of putting posts in the ground and establishing the infrastructure for the espaliered orchard and chook yard.

And we even planted seedlings and a couple of fruit trees at the end.

All of this could not have been achieved without the wisdom and commitment of Adam and the permablitz crew, the fantastic design and planning from Dylan and Jo as well as the broader design team of Mathias, Paras and Cindy.

Thanks to everyone who cooked, looked after kids, did shopping runs, sourced cardboard, lent tools, entertained our dog and of course gardened…..

It was an awesome effort and we welcome you all to partake in the fruits of your labour over the coming years.

Cheers,

Gigi, Kristian and Avinash
