10. “I like that you planted prairie garden on the island at the bottom of Stone Ridge. We should consider this for other common gardens as we have difficulty recruiting volunteers for maintenance. Prairie gardens require a minimal amount of time and work. The garden below my building - one of the initial plots - is beautiful” Dawn in an to Tom
