My Reply to the City after the Meeting

Maureen, As you suspected, the area needs to be behind the trees. The garden would not be very productive in the shade. I am glad that Tom was able to communicate on behalf of the SHRA a deep understanding of possible issues for the city. I hope that you heard the same sentiments from what I shared with you on behalf of the SHCG. I feel that the raised beds are an essential part of the success and low maintenance aspect of this garden-the alternative leads us with weeds, mowing issues, communication issues, boundary issues and/or an open pit of mud. I would be happy to speak to anyone on the multitudes of reasons behind raised beds for our particular garden, including a detailed plan for how they will be taken out if the garden is no longer active. Enjoy your break!Amy
