I was walking by Nathan Bishop MS today, Ran into Doug Still, City forester,
and a consultant.  They were making plans for what trees to remove and where
to plant new ones in the reconstruction of Nathan Bishop.  I, not quite so
innocently, asked so where is the school garden.  There was no plan for one.
So how do we get one into the plans, like right now?  Greg gerritt
