If there were a public garden in Bay View, would you use it, and what would you plant?

“I wouldn’t plant anything personally, but I love to purchase locally.”

-Brett Williams, Mabbett & Rusk avenues

“I do grow all kinds of beautiful flowers, lots of colors, and yes, I would use it for that.”

-Melissa, Harper, and Zachary Limas, Delaware & Trowbridge avenues

“Well, it’s tough [to answer], because I’m putting in a garden at my own house. I don’t know that I’d use a public garden. I think it’s a great idea, but we have the space, so, we’re going to put in our own. And actually, I spent the weekend digging up grass to make that garden.”

-Laura Baxter, Midna (Australian Shepherd), and Link (Lab-Huskie mix), KK & Linus

“Would I use it? I probably wouldn’t, but I think my wife would use it to grow flowers. We would leave them there for the aesthetics rather than cut them and bring them home… A zinnia, perhaps, or petunias are always good.”

-Paul Troglia, Rusk & Wentworth avenues

“I wouldn’t use it, because I have a garden in my own yard, and I grow my vegetables there. For me, it wouldn’t be, but I think it would be useful for a lot of people.”

-Joan Bontempo, Wentworth Avenue
