Fwd: THANK YOU and volunteer garden work at Obs Junior School

[Brian Amery]

I am forwarding a message from Margie Rosenberg which is self explanatory. If anyone will help please contact her directly.

"Dear Brian,

 

Thank you very much for the two avacado trees which you delivered last term. I am sorry I was not there to receive them. My mother had passed away in Pietermaritzburg and I needed to leave immediately.

 

I have other rather sad news to report. Christian fell on Table Mountain on Sunday while hiking with friends and is in a critical condition in Vincent Pallotti Hospital. He has severe injuries and will take a long time recovering. Our greatest concern is that he received head injuries and it is to early to tell how severe these are. His parents arrived on Monday afternoon to be with him. We will only be able to see him next week if he shows signs of improvement.

 

If you know of anyone in Observatory who would be willing to work with me in the school garden, once or twice a week please could you get them to contact me. They would have to volunteer their services. We used to work on Tuesdays and Thursdays from 8.00am to 10.00am but these times can be negotiated. I would also like to ask for more cuttings if you have any as we seem to be losing more than getting them to take. I will really miss Christian as he knew how to make cuttings. We have a few small ones and I have managed to grow one in a bottle so feel sure we can manage to grow cuttings eventually with perseverance.

 

Thank you for your support and interest in our garden project.

 

Kind Regards
