Express your thoughts on an organic community garden

[admin]

The Town of Flower Mound invites residents to participate in a survey gauging interest and support for an organic community garden. A plot in the future Green Acres Farm Memorial Park, 4400 Hide-A-Way Lane, was identified as the potential site for the garden’s location in the Town’s Parks and Trails Master Plan. Survey results and a recommendation will be discussed at future meetings of the Parks, Arts, and Library Services and Environmental Conservation Commission Boards, and a later Town Council meeting for further review and direction. The survey is available through Feb. 28 and can be found at http://survey.constantcontact.com/surve ... rxt6/start. For more information, please call the Parks Department at 972.874.6300 or e-mail parks@flower-mound.com.

Every Google search I can come up with identifies "Green Acres" and "Memorial Park" with cemeteries. Are you suggesting that FM is considering establishing a community garden inside a cemetery? From some perspectives, that sounds quite interesting. I wonder what the good folks in the upmarket homes in that area have to say about it?

It's 12-14 acres that a long time resident, Larry Davis, willed to the town. I think he died in 2007 or 2008? Actually it may have been earlier than that because the nature club by daughter was in in Elementary donated a bench. If I recall, that was the first thing ever donated to it.

Mr. Davis had certain things the town had to agree to before he died, and they did. 1 was that it would be dedicated to his late wife. I think a couple years ago an historic building/house was moved and set up there as well.

Here's some links.

Never mind. I'm surprised I'm not coming up with more. Just Google "Green Acres Memorial Park" and "Flower Mound". Most is small tid-bits and town council or board meeting items.
