Hey Xenia, I was thinking about how we could combine a bit of planning and compassion to help our neighborhood—maybe a community garden or a small fundraiser. What do you think about starting something like that?
Sounds good, but let’s draft a clear plan first—map the plot, budget, volunteers, and a timeline. If we rush, we’ll look disorganized and lose support. A small fundraiser could double as a seed‑sale event; keep the budget tight and set a concrete goal so everyone knows what we’re aiming for.
Absolutely, that sounds like a solid plan! Let’s start by drawing a simple map of the plot, then set a realistic budget—maybe around $500—so we know what we’re aiming for. We can list a few volunteers for each task, like one for planting, one for the seed‑sale booth, and one for the overall coordination. A timeline with a kickoff meeting in two weeks, seed‑sale day in a month, and a wrap‑up event a few days later would keep everything on track. I’ll draft the outline and we can tweak it together before we share it with the group.
Looks solid—just remember to leave a buffer in the budget for unexpected fees, and maybe schedule a quick check‑in a week after the kickoff so we catch any snags early. I’ll review the outline when you send it. Good work on the structure.
