The Times They Are a-Changin’

We need funds to buy fixing and timber to finish this project and your donation will have a direct and lasting impact. The expectation is that this polytunnel will produce 500kg of vegetables that include courgettes, chillies, gem squash (all of you Southern Africans know what they are), tomatoes and more tomatoes that will be shared with our community and food charities in the local area.

The polytunnel blue pipes, 100m of 63mm mdpe water pipe and the polytunnel cover was donated by my folks, Lindsay and Norma Stewart, and my Dad, despite his age, is genuinely helping the project with ideas and loads of cardboard.

The building ideas for the polytunnel just keep getting better, with trial and error and a lot of hard labour. The improvements from plan A to Plan B are evident. Ideas are not precious, rather shared and changed, making this design process a pleasure for everyone involved. There have only been few times in my long working career where I’ve witnessed this kind of generosity. Thank you to all our volunteers.
