✨ A Note of Appreciation

As we close out the year, we want to thank everyone who has shown up — with tools, time, donations, encouragement, and heart.
Every project moved forward because real people chose to build something good together.

☕ Donations: Ko-fi Makes the Biggest Difference

​

As we wrap up the year, a quick reminder:

Ko-fi is the best place to donate.

• Lower fees

• More direct support for materials and labour

• Helps us stretch every pound further

Your generosity genuinely keeps this mission moving.

❄️ December Gardening Tip

Give your garden a winter health check.
Clear fallen leaves from lawns, check fences for storm damage, and tidy up borders.
A little winter prep now means a smoother start when spring rolls in.
