The meeting was great, in attendance were: Anne, Bejay, Anna, Chloe and Erika. Here are some of the ideas that came out of it all: -doing the proposal in phases: phase 1 is the commons, phase 2 is the allotments. -Permaculture principles is a desired - Robert Porter park is a site for blue bird nesting; take this into account when designing gardens -Water needs to be included into the budget -Soil could need up to 10 yards, soil is good under grass -Tools included in budget -Include shed, perhaps in phase 2, or part B of phase 1. -Compost: 350 $ to budget, with a lock? or just a lid. -Garden can be dedicated to people and other things as a way to increase it's value and importance -Moss street market outreach can include an interactive designing process. -Some plants we talked about: kiwis, on a trellis, perhaps with raspberries walnut tree with mulberry tree, good source of food/ protein Blueberries, Salal, Lavender and other herbs, Jerusalem artichoke, annuals in a bed of their own -Anna will talk with a friend of hers about costs associated with a trellis. -Use the trellis as fencing or to deter deer and dogs. -Before the next session folks should write their ideas down and then we can integrate them all. -Bejay has a design he and Tamara already made, he will forward it to us and we'll look at it at the next meeting.
