This COMMUNITY GARDEN was CUT OFF from NEIGHBORHOOD so I fixed that

I'm so excited to share this weeks video with you all. This community garden was in desperate need of some help - especially since there was no safe access! The sidewalks were completely overgrown and covered - so I spent 16 hours there and got them usable again. I was so so thankful to have met some great people and also be invited to their growing party in a few weeks.
Love the community I live in and so thankful I get to do this work!

Our first home was in a poorer neighborhood. The first spring my husband went out and swept the gutter and street in front of our house. Soon all the neighbors were out doing the same.😊 I was planting my garden spaces and offered neighbors plants I was thinning. Soon our whole block was lifted to a space filled with friendship and beauty! All it takes is someone to start!❤

[@dianehillman7808]

That's beautiful! ❤

[@lornamurdocheaton624]

Well done! You're an inspiration. I suppose people want to clean up but feel overwhelmed by the sheer size of the task. You made the start!

[@conniesmith8631]

We just moved I to a poorer neighborhood and people started seeing us clean and mow and now they are doing it too. They told our next door neighbor we had the nicest places in the area. So glad they are following suit

[@4ofSeven]

A company needs to sponsor a wood chipper for you. You can return all the mulch back into the trees. Save you some money. And maybe even provide some mulch for the community gardens at the same time. Come on corporate America. This man needs some equipment.

[@AdamBragg]

That's a great idea! Also, putting piles of dead wood into the forested area increases the risk of brush fires, so having a wood chipper to mulch the trees would be better on several fronts. Hopefully some manufacturer or seller sees this and steps up.

[@KjcIpswich]

What a terrific idea

[@fjklfdasdf]

@@AdamBragg dead wood is also good for biodiversity, insects and small animals live in it...

[@AdamBragg]

@@fjklfdasdf You are correct, but as with many things, it is only good in moderation. Typically, these channels show large amounts of dead wood being removed from the cleaned up area. If all that wood is being "relocated" (ie. dumped) into a single location, then the risk of it starting a fire becomes greater than the benefit.

[@aok2727]

I was thinking the same. All the makings of fabulous compost is being cut in this video!!

Please people in this community keep it clean. He is doing you a huge service cleaning this sidewalk. You see your city is not careing about you. So keep it up. All they will do is clean it at election time. Vote wisely.

[@margaretburgess4007]

Exactly! Where are the tax dollars going?

[@rachelnegri8411]

I agree, I'm in SE WI and i don't see sidewalks in this shape in my city at all.

[@JohnGotts]

This is Metro Detroit. The population has been constant for 50+ years, but the size of the metro has grown (doubled in area? I don't have exact figures). The city in this video is one that has emptied out in favor of outlying areas, losing tax revenue in the process. Pretty typical of Midwestern cities, a fairly constant population migrating outwards, leaving older cities to fend for themselves. Metro Detroit has some older suburbs that have flourished. I happen to live next to one. This one needs help, and I'm glad to see it happening.

[@chrisrnrtd7621]

I love that you blow all the clippings back into the grassy areas, instead of leaving it on the road, as I've seen many inconsiderate people doing.

Good on you for being thoughtful and considerate.

This guy’s a hero. Better than Superman! The people in that neighborhood should have gotten together long ago and formed a committee to clean up those sidewalks.

[@j.m.8951]

I know Sean has a gigantic heart and loves giving back to the community. But, I'm curious to know as to why citizens of these neighborhoods don't get together and tackle these eye soars before it gets out of control? Some are quick to boast about "my neighborhood" or is ready to rub people out of their neighborhoods, yet they don't care about cleaning up blight areas! Make this make sense! If only a vast amount of people had a caring heart like Sean, the world would be a much better place to live! A million THANKS Sean- God will continue to bless you.❤

[@carmenfolch9636]

I agree with you. I was wondering myself why the people who use the community garden, didn't get together and try to clean at least the sidewalk. They could make it a neighborhood project.

[@carmenmonoxide7459]

Elephant in the room here. Where's the city's workers? I'm talking taxes! I'm from Delaware and thankfully residents here just have to call who's responsible. I am impressed with the quality of yard work you do, for free. Young man, keep whipping and you'll reach 100 thousand in no time! 🧡💚💛

[@darlapoulsen9767]

I can’t believe he doesn’t have more. This man is a godsend!

[@Gertyutz]

You're right. Sidewalks are city property. As for his subscribers, he has a lot of YT competition from people who clean up private properties for free.

[@Wheel_Horse]

In some cities, keeping the sidewalk clear falls on the property owner. It's not clear if the city owns that property, or if it's some 3rd party. It appears that at one time there may have been a home on that lot since there is apparently a driveway apron. If there is a 3rd party owner, it's clear that they've abandoned the property. BUT, in any case, the city should still be responsible at the end of the day, either finding the property owner and compelling them to maintain the property or biting the bullet and at LEAST clear the sidewalk.

[@joshuaguenin9507]

I think he is in the Detroit area, that city has had tough times

[@curiouscat3384]

Bigger Elephant - if these people consider themselves a "community" and they're all gardeners, then why can't THEY VOLUNTEER their time to spruce up the property. Disgusting that everybody thinks 'they" should do something about it meaning the government, but nobody wants to pay taxes for it. Do you think city workers are manna from heaven? It's high time "communities" do their own work.

[@sandramadaris7814]

Agree! Wearing a mask or bandana, eye protection, hearing protection, gloves, proper heavy shoes, hat, sunscreen, bug spray...one has to be properly "outfitted" to do such physical labor! Seems silly to fully fit young people, but inhaling all that stuff, or getting foreign objects in the eyes, etc is NOT fun! In my youth we had to wear proper gear for our summer outdoor jobs, same in the military. Glad I learned those protective measures when I was younger!

Perhaps on a case by case basis. He's doing heavy work. If he puts on a mask without oxygen he'll pass out. Masks can be very detrimental if we're constantly breathing back in the bacteria our bodies are try to expel. Many times worse than what would have been breathed in and expelled without it.

@annettevertalino9273 I was going to mention that in my comment, but read yours, so ditto what you say.

I'm glad you have a shovel like that! You really need that 😊 Thank to the donor(s) who send you that !

What happened to the right grip. Did you not like it or did it break.

[@MidlifeStockman]

@@sovieslsdidn’t work well for me. I’m doing a lot of heavy use. It seems better for straight shoveling.

Bless your heart man I’m a few minutes into your video. My back hurts already. I am a super huge community gardener and this made my heart bigger.

[@jennyb4095]

Wow the back breaking labor you put into this job is unreal. You did a beautiful job.

[@mandyhill1698]

You definitely don't need a gym membership!! You always go above and beyond with these makeovers that looks like another area that's been neglected for a long time the city should be ashamed, people pay their taxes but it takes someone with a massive heart to put things right. Amazing job💕

[@marilynhemingway5219]

It really sucks that the city dpw does not care about the community and that seniors as well as other can't use sidewalks. Human kindness goes a long way.

Email governor, mayor, this might get things moving to keep city's clean an healthy

If my community, I’d be dropping natural flower seeds along that woods edge-leading to the garden!

[@teresaschaedel5392]

God was certainly smiling down on you with this makeover. Many blessings always. You make such a difference in the neighborhoods.

[@mollywalsh2860]

Safe and beautiful! Wow what a job, to bad that man didn’t come back to help you. Hope he appreciates all your hard work! 💪👏

[@witchiehall5783]

Just thought I'd let you know that you've become my Monday morning coffee routine....thank you!

[@ajwriter5699]

That city owes you $$$THOUSANDS$$$ for cleaning up that jungle. The before and after is Jaw Dropping!! 😳😳😳 What a Fantastic job you’ve done! Trust, MANY blessings are coming your way.

[@TerryGobell]

How can anyone be so irresponsible to dump their trash like that? It really makes me wild that people can be so irresponsible and rude. But you did an excellent job to tidy up the sidewalk and the garden.
