... the garden gate.

Hello All

For those of you not familiar with the recent discussion our very own Dpmichael suggested a charitable donation to a poverty fund for every visit from the current round robin and we've tossed around a few ideas here's the thread [HYPERLINK@davesgarden.com] I've asked the permission of Dave and Terry to run this thread for further discussion of ideas and they're happy for us to go ahead with this and to discuss it here, I'd like to thank them for their support :). I personally feel it's a great idea and needn't be soley connected to the round robin members should others want to join in.

To date a small summary of the suggestions have been:

Find a worthy cause that accepts actual seeds as donations.

Selling our extra seeds, eBay, carboot etc to raise funds to donate cash to an agreed cause.

Charities suggested:

Thrive - [HYPERLINK@www.thrive.org.uk]

Donating livestock to a family living in poverty, I found several charities who do this and some other things too like fruit trees, shelters etc.

[HYPERLINK@www.oxfamunwrapped.com]

[HYPERLINK@www.farmfriends.org.uk]

[HYPERLINK@www.sendacowgifts.org.uk]

[HYPERLINK@www.greatgifts.org]

If you are interested and have any other charities that could be considered please tell us!

(I've removed a section to prevent my complicating causing too much confusion :))

Philomel, not sure what we could do with your cockerels but hey, someone may have a suggestion other than eating them LOL
