I am a gardener of the community garden mentioned in the article. I am personally in shock... and know that other gardeners are feeling the same way. We understand the situation, but are very sad about our plants, and years of many people's work put into creating our garden.
We've been talking among ourselves since we heard a rumor about the plan in Dec., and have attended D15 Community Education Council in Dec, and the School District meeting in Jan. But we ourselves just learned that the new school would house 900 children and the new garden on the site plan is much smaller than what we have now. It will of course take many years to start from scratch, and we might not be able to save our beautiful trees.
How we can be part of the new plan should be on the agenda at the March 18 meeting and March 26 public hearing and our members are planning to attend. I am glad to know that many people are talking about this issue now.
