 What was left on 2/19/17 |  Pollinator garden in September 2016 |
If you have been keeping up with our Garden Club, you've probably heard us talk about our efforts over the past three years to clean up and maintain the Bayview Triangle at the corner of Beacon and 15th Ave S. We have held quarterly work parties, with Tree Ambassadors support, cleaning up trash and maintaining the landscape. In winter of 2015, we were given money from the city to plant a pollinator garden and installed a mason bee house to help our struggling pollinators and to bring some beauty to the corner.
Our garden club was shocked and saddened to discover that the pollinator garden was dug up last Thursday, Feb. 19th. Metro has decided to relocate a bus stop at the site and add in a bus shelter. As far as we can tell, no notice was given to us or the community. We are still in the midst of trying to find out how this happened and what the final plan is for the space. Stay tuned as we get more details. Thanks to the community for all of their support over the past 3 years. We hope to continue in some shape or form.
