I so wish I could be here for this meeting, but I’m working downtown at a Predator’s game (again). Please attend if you’re interested!
From the city:
The first meeting for a Community Garden will take place Tuesday, March 23, at 7 p.m. at City Hall. Interested parties are encouraged to come to the meeting to brainstorm with city officials about the project. For more information, contact Parks and Recreation at 793-3224.
Kathy —
I just wanted to thank the citizens who attended this meeting. We had approximataely 15 people there and it was a positive meeting.
Some good ideas came out of the crowd, who want the garden to begin this year. We are looking at three places the garden could be located: Lake Forest Park, Senior Center or City Hall.
We're leaning toward the Senior Center. That way it will be for the entire community and is easy to find.
We have to talk to the board and get their blessing, but wanted you to know that we're working on this plan and hopefully it will come to fruition soon.
This is very exciting! Of course, my across-the-street neighbor and I are both gardeners, so we've got our neighborhood covered. 😀
