Jacobsville Park native planting

She described the community effort behind the Jacobsville Park project — a fourth-draft plan developed with the Native Plant Society, Dream Center and neighborhood groups — emphasizing the replanting uses only two existing, barren berms and takes no land from the park.

The Dream Center director voiced full organizational support for Annie's volunteer work and outlined plans for 30–50 volunteers to install the native garden plus 20–30 regular volunteers for upkeep.

He opposed expanding the native planting, arguing the half-block park needs a half basketball court, that mulch piles have grown excessively, and that more restrictions should be imposed on the garden's footprint.
