We are planning to build 50 raised flowerbeds for people to grow vegetables, flowers or whatever they like. It will cost us €50 for materials and labour to build and instal one of them. By contributin to a flowerbed you will:

- enable a citizen in Kyiv to grow food and strengthen their personal food security

- help develop interpersonal relationships in the neighbourhood which builds stronger social bonds and that is even more important in a war zone

- enable people to take part in gardening and improve their personal resilience for a lifetime, as well as the therapeutic benefits of garden therapy - also insanely important in a war zone

The soil on the plot of land is not totally suitable for planting so we need to purchase top soil for the raised flowerbeds. It costs €400 in total and with this €100 ($122 USD) contribution you can cover 1/4 of the price.

The plot of land is dominated by a monoculture of an invasive species of tree - American Maple - which is also very aggressive. We will cull many of these trees and replace them with a variety of native species to strengthen the biodiversity and to boost food security with fruit trees. The trees we will plant include: oak, birch, maple, alder, willow, common pine, apricot, apple, plum, cherry, black walnut, silver poplar.

Your €50 contribution will help buy five (5) trees, including planting them.

The plot of land is doesn't have a water source so we will buy and install three rainwater collection systems. Your contribution of €75 pays for one.
