Hello

Hi Margaret!

HI Craig, Looking forward to this new project.

It's an exciting option and connects people in a real community way while improving access to fresh foods!

What's your biggest point of interest in a FM?

It will be nice to get the old location on Oakland back up and running. The location is ideal as the traffic is awesome plus the neighborhood is catered to all types of living situations.

Great points! I hope you will add those comments later on in the discussion.

Craig to answer your question, I would say a variety of vendors from crafters to artists to food.

That adds an important dynamic which benefits everyone and makes for a more vibrant market and community gathering space.

Right

I agree with all of what you said.

Thanks for taking time to participate today!

The aqua blue area in the Courtyard Connection, what is that suppose to be?

I believe that was the restroom

The spot that is closer to the river and bike trail.

Water retention feature

There is a gully there; there would be a bike/walking bridge going over that

Okay

I wonder if talking with Jim Stiles in plants as he is very knowledgeable when it comes to natural habit type plants. I like what Mathias is showing.

What about having a bee garden or butterfly garden to attract the pollinators?

Jim is a true naturalist. These are some design possibilities at this point. Good suggestion.

No Tamarack?? Awwwww…

The prairie restoration areas on the site are being designed with bees/butterflies in mind

It would be cool to have a garden area to have people explore. Not only plants but a small vegetable garden to teach the public where the food comes from. It also helps keep the young from getting into trouble.

Form a CSA type garden

I could see a demonstration area being a part of the overall plan. We're also having discussions about improvements to our community gardens down by Woodson.

Did not know there was one by Woodson.

Yep a good number of plots. Maybe you'd like one next year?

Lol we have our own farm land of gardens

Is the car dealership still going to be next door? As we need to make sure there are no hard feelings.

oh ok I didn't know you lived on a farm! Having an eye that the demonstration idea you had can lead to someone taking on their own effort there is at least a possibility.

Sure we can do something like that.

Nice Dan. Yes we spent lots of money on the sign and the mailbox.

In the gulley area, will that area be filled in with rock or plant growth?

Nice as if there is a need for more vendor space or public to sit there during live events.

Thank you to all of you. Happy Holidays!
