Sometimes, the people who give the most… are the ones who never ask for anything in return.


Carmen Scull, from Bridgewater near Bendigo in Victoria, has been part of the Weedy Garden journey in a way that goes far beyond watching from a screen. She’s left beautiful, heartfelt comments that have lifted the spirit of this project — and more than that, she’s shown up.


Carmen has travelled thousands of kilometres across Australia to be part of every single makeover, giving her time, her energy, and her hands to help build gardens for others. She’s been there, quietly contributing, every step of the way.


And now… it’s her turn.


Together with her daughter Willa — who many of you met in the last video — Carmen and her family have been selected to receive the next Weedy Garden makeover. This is a small way of giving back to a family who has given so much to this community.


As a community, we’re coming together to create a garden for Carmen and Willa — a space designed to suit their land, their climate, and their life. A place where food can grow, soil can heal, and something meaningful can take root for years to come.


To bring this project to life, we’re aiming to raise $10,000, which will cover the core costs of the makeover, including:


* Materials (soil, timber, plants, irrigation, and systems)

* Tools and equipment

* Transport and logistics

* Travel and fuel

* Food and support for the incredible volunteers who make these projects possible


This is the foundation that allows the transformation to happen.


What started as a small garden and a camera has grown into something much bigger — a community of people who believe in reconnecting with nature, growing real food, and supporting one another.


Now, that community comes together for Carmen.


And you’re invited to be part of it.


Thank you very much for your support — and please share this community cause with your gardening friends to help this project get roots :-) 🌱

Hi everyone, As this is the final day of the fundraiser for Carmen, I wanted to take a moment to thank each and every one of you. We've reached just over half of our goal, but with some wonderful sponsors and local businesses stepping in to help, it looks like everything we hoped to achieve this weekend will still get done. 😊 Any extra funds raised will help support the next chapter of The Weedy Garden journey, including 24 weeks of Starlink, mould treatment for the tent, and a little fire stove to keep me warm through winter. 🔥 More importantly, thank you not only for supporting Carmen, but for trusting in and contributing to what I've been trying to build with this channel. As one chapter comes to a close with the Weedy Garden Makeovers, another is about to begin. Over the next 24 weeks, I'll be studying Geoff Lawton's Online Permaculture Design Course and filming directly from a Lotus Belle tent, set right in the heart of The Weedy Garden. I invite you to join me for what I think will be a very special season of the channel. The Carmen makeover will be filmed and edited by Trent from Cowboy Hat Films, and I'm just as excited as you are to see how it all comes together. Until then, thank you for your kindness, your support, and your contributions. Lots of hugs and dirty handshakes, Weedy 🌱
