We need names beside that work before we start. My niece and neighbours can choose what they can manage. I would like the care recognised too, not only the photograph of freshly planted pots.

Mariana Duarte, I would enjoy talking about the attempts afterwards. I am not sure about joining the activity itself. The practical limit is that I am still finding my way around a new neighbourhood.

I would like room to change the arrangement after the first attempt. I want to keep “Plant herbs with my niece and neighbours” manageable for the people involved. That is a useful distinction. A conversation afterwards can be its own invitation, without requiring someone to take part in everything.

I would also like to share a modest craft table with neighbours. For me, I am still finding my way around a new neighbourhood.

I'd love an afternoon planting suitable herbs in cleaned reused containers with my niece and a neighbour. We can swap spare seedlings and share a simple meal. Could someone else handle the washing up so I also get time to sit?

On “Plant herbs with my niece and neighbours”, I would welcome a low-cost materials tip. Is there something comparably small that another person could offer you?
Reply to Reza Davids
“Plant herbs with my niece and neighbours” is the starting point, not a promise of a perfect result. I would ask what would make one attempt possible and listen to the answer.
Reply to Mariana Duarte
For this wish, Mariana Duarte: I like that this stayed small. My temptation would be to add three more things before starting. I would also like to share a modest craft table with neighbours.

Reza Davids, I would keep the extra ideas somewhere separate. One manageable attempt gives the bigger ideas something to learn from.
