And Happy, I recognize your concerns but want to assure you that the spot we have chosen is not one currently inhabited by deer. Please stop by and see it for yourself (past the dog park, across the street, where the sidewalk ends!). And please feel free to get involved--I have a very hopeful feeling about this garden space and the people who are stepping forward with positive energy to be part of it in ways small and large.Pattie Bakerhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/06980323449305990299noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236530492931690725.post-71557849921233959912009-08-06T12:08:05.424-07:002009-08-06T12:08:05.424-07:00Also, I just thought of this... a better place for the communtiy garden would be the Donaldson-Chesnut property. It is a farm already.happyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00063034860703474206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236530492931690725.post-64677265959438438822009-08-06T11:43:00.010-07:002009-08-06T11:43:00.010-07:00What about the deer? They need every inch of land, they keep getting the bad end of every deal in this area and end up getting hit by a car on North Peachtree Rd. This is very sad for the deer.happyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00063034860703474206noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4236530492931690725.post-22178483010363623732009-08-05T16:29:57.838-07:002009-08-05T16:29:57.838-07:00Keep Georgia Beautiful Awards Program 2009<br /><br />Applications Due Monday September 14, 2009<br /><br />2009 State Award Categories<br /><br /> * Community Improvement: recognizes efforts of any group to improve, beautify, and preserve the quality of life in their community. <br /> * Waste Reduction/Recycling: recognizes efforts to minimize the impact of waste, promote recycling, and/or methods of responsible waste handling in your community. <br /> * Litter Prevention: recognizes efforts of any group to change attitudes and behaviors of litter in your community<br /><br /> State Award Eligibility Groups<br /><br /> * Non-Profit, Civic, and Community Organizations<br /> * Youth groups and Schools<br /> * Local Governments<br /> * Businesses and Professional Organizations<br /><br />2009 Individual Achievement Awards <br /><br /> * Carolyn Crayton Woman of the Year<br /> * Steve Reynolds Man of the Year<br /> * Public Works Employee of the Year<br /> * Code Enforcement Officer of the Year<br /> * Student of the Year<br /><br />Applications can be downloaded from www.keepgeorgiabeautiful.org<br /><br /> <br /><br />Winners will be honored at the Annual KGB Awards Luncheon.
