Friend on other social media said, “Resurrect your PATREON FROM THE DEAD”
I’m in the middle of recovering my password. That could help since I’m recording all of the projects I’m doing.
There’s so many awesome things happening on that front.
The tiers are now based on which projects take up the most time.
$5/month will help me break even on labels and seed envelopes for the seed library.
$100/month if you want to fund my project of GOING TO PEOPLE’S HOUSES and canning their fruit/vegetables for them! These are all folks who aren’t able to harvest the produce they grow.
They almost always can’t pay me, @munchkinmeep, and Alex to do this.
Some of that will go to @munchkinmeep and my friend Alex’s gas. It costs $ to go places and buy the items to can. I mean, come on, we’re a Home Canning thing that cans in YOUR house.
If it’s your house, you don’t even have to go anywhere! 😀
@kihaku-gato: If you know someone who wants to adopt an adaptive gardener, I have 5 right now:
-Leslie is 75 years old and has mobility issues. She can no longer navigate her garden. Her raised beds need to be rebuilt because they are too short. Her raised beds should be 4′ tall per ADA.
-Margret is 63 and is visually impaired. She has low vision and is unsteady. She needs to turn her overgrown food forest into something that she can easily navigate. She mostly needs help with pathways, pruning, and plant selection.
-Jim is 40 and has chronic pain. He cannot spend much time in the garden and needs significant help weeding and doing general care. His current raised beds need to be replaced with 4′ tall ones that also have seating attached.
-Clark is 68 and has a 2 acre orchard and can no longer harvest or process. Needs help with harvest, fruit processing (in their kitchen), regularly pruning the trees, and replacing the tall grass with an ecolawn or something similar.
-Ann is 53 and has chronic pain and other chronic illnesses that keep Ann from maintaining their garden space. Their garden is in a local community garden. They need help watering, weeding, planting, harvest, and delivery of vegetables.
This is a $200 tier. It will cover materials for garden upgrades. NONE of these folks can hire a traditional service. I am helping them FOR FREE. It would be nice to not have to make EVERYTHING out of pallets.
As of right now I sadly don’t know anyone atm. I will signal boost for now though in case someone else here on this site know anyone!
