Issues discussed <br /> included: <br /> --If garden topsoil is being stored by DPW will it be available for us. Otherwise, can we <br /> use soil they have at DPW (not compost) <br /> --Gravel base for the parking extension will need to be topped by 1-2" of shells <br /> --Will DPW be doing turf reseeding where needed <br /> --Beds will need to be graded 6" down so planting soil can be added when bed frames <br /> are constructed. Would we/Catherine Laurent contract with Lawrence Lynch for that <br /> work? <br /> --Ideally planting beds will be decompacted prior to frames being built and set on site. <br /> --We need to locate where the outer planting will be done, outside of new fencing, and <br /> prepare soil. <br /> --Figure out location of pathway(s) outside of the community garden area. <br /> MCGAC Minutes of December 18, 2019 <br />
