  1. Good to hear these voices! Other items to bring to the table for those who will
    be at the mob and speaking out to help keep the
    building 1. The building is in good shape, and to me, beautiful in
    > > situ. It is very easy to keep it as an additional source of revenue for the garden, freeing up space at the main
    facility. 2. It costs money to tear it down, more money to haul away the debris to the landfill … and this from an organization who loudly boasts its green profile… and more money to fix up the area in prep for new plantings, AND YET MORE MONEY for new plantings. All capital outlay! Take that budgeted
    money and use it to maintain and USE THE EXISTING BUILDING! 3. If the garden decides to not use the building as an inside facility anymore, then “opening it up” to use as a sheltered garden for tender plants would use the
    existing structure in an innovative way. Not to mention being able to add a place for new collections. 4 A last point to make is the value of the old building being at the other end of the garden. For many, unless they
    ride the guide cart on a tour, they never see the area
    around the old education centre. Over the years, I’ve spoken to so many folks who never go far from the main
    facility, who do not know what is at “the back” of
    the garden!

    Mob-mob-mob away! I’m cheering for you.

  2. Mob away! I’m cheeringf for you. Instead of a capital outlay to destroy the buillding, the Parks Boards shuld just spend the money to maintain, and let it be a place for rental and seminars, and a place for the garden volunteers to meet. ALL these activities are additional sources of revenue instead of an outlay to destroy it and more money to put something else there!
