Planning the Depave
by Joanne on Mar.30, 2007, under Construction and Repairs
Update: Postponed – new date TBA
Last night Sarah and I had an impromptu depave planning meeting in the courtyard. We both took a piece of yellow chalk and drew outlines of walkways and future garden beds on the cement. Our mutual hope is to have enough room to expand the garden beds although enhancing the aesthetics of the patio would be a significant side benefit. My worry is that after the depave day we will have a patio full of holes in no particular order, none of which will be useful for planting rain gardens, lettuce beds or absorbing run-off. Hopefully the formal planning meeting tomorrow will help us prioritize our cement-breaking efforts. In the meantime, the chalk is on the dryer: please feel free to add to Sarah’s and my initial design.
