Three shade trees that we planted by the neighborhood as part of a city street tree program were torn out to make the raised bed garden, whereas there are better spots to put a garden at the school. Circle Boulevard has been a busy street for many years, and the soil close to Circle likely contains lead and other contaminants. Exhaust from vehicles will contaminate the garden plants and produce. There are other spots more appropriate for the garden. The school should plant three trees along Circle to replace the ones that were destroyed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
