But my cynical side was wondering all thru your piece, "how long before Starbucks shows up?" so I was a bit amused when you ended with "the ocean of green"! Can't wait to hear what finally shows up on all that open space! Keep us posted, will you?Supriya Savkoorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10854983392374596718noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-43169136214678748132012-08-18T04:52:26.628-04:002012-08-18T04:52:26.628-04:00Heidi, first they wanted to start building a garde...Heidi, first they wanted to start building a garden show there in 2017 - now it seems they do the show somewhere else. So it seems there are still some years time to come by.

Do you have any idea how long it will be before they turn it into condos and malls? And will the remaining park still have those lovely community gardens?Heidi Noroozyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03351899620446316075noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8018311341701044333.post-71966312523630745492012-08-17T09:51:46.400-04:002012-08-17T09:51:46.400-04:00Malte, I love this idea.

It got its start in a similar way when an organization bought land adjacent to their building for a future library. The land sat unused for a few years until employees got permission to garden there. Later it was opened to the community-at-large. I grew everything from asparagus and rosemary to green beans and spinach. It was lovely. Construction on that library is underway, so the garden has closed.Patricia Wintonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05095600674659292509noreply@blogger.com
