"The former Naval Training Center (NTC) will be transformed into a new urban village called Liberty Station. Following several years of planning, including extensive public involvement, the San Diego City Council adopted a final Reuse Plan in October 1998, charting a new course for NTC. The area will be a gathering place where San Diegans can come together in an active, productive, and stimulating environment. New homes, parks, businesses, as well as cultural and educational facilities will transform the former Navy base into a vital waterfront community" are the introductory sentences of NTC website. It seems that the City of San Diego and the managers of Liberty Station do what they advertise.
As a group we have the possibility to engage in the design of a San Diego native Medicinal Aromatic and useful plants COMMUNITY GARDEN to which we could add education component (ethnobotany for example). What a great opportunity for us !
A public entity offering a space is great, but public is public, isn't it ?
How about a private owner opening is property ?
Dave Ayers from Trapeze High trapeze school in Escondido offers members of San Diego native Medicinal Aromatic and useful plants meetup group, a space where they can collectively propagate plants.
Dave already grows a variety of MAPs, therefore seeds and cuttings will not have to travel long !
Thanks a lot Dave,
To be followed...
