...It wasn't the front page, it was page three of Friday, July 18th's Winnipeg Free Press. I'm not a subscriber, but I can get access to someone else's subscription, so maybe I can post a copy of the article here. I'll ask when I get home.
The article was about our "Spirit Park" project, renovating a "guerilla garden" that was formed on three or four vacant lots into a proper, functional, multipurpose green space. If the list can handle .pdf attachments, I could post the most current design here, or is there a website where such things can be made available to list members? We're currently in the final stages of this project, we've got the contractors, we've got the design that still needs a bit of tweaking to be completely acceptable to the City, who owns the land, we've got gardeners poised to take control of the area, we've even got the water lines and storm sewer catch basin installed already. Recent rains have delayed the rough grading, and we're still working out some of the details regarding materials and installation of the "tot lot" play space I mentioned in a previous post. We DON'T want to use the pressure-treated timbers the playground people would have installed, so we're going with a recycled plastic timber instead. I can't wait to be able to post "before", "during" and "AFTER" pictures of this project on our community development website. I'll be sure to post the link here when I do. Thanks for the kudos, Pat.
