Meeting with Landscape Designer

Yesterday, we attended the initial meeting with the landscape designer.  It was an introductory meeting to scope out the work he will do and the objectives to be achieved.  We spoke about the history of the neighbourhood and how it has looked after the area behind our homes, and the engagement of the community in the process.  We also passed on comments around using xeriscaping concepts and the need to maintain the common, and passive use of the space.  The designer will be touring the area to see what is required.  A design will be developed and we will get a chance to see and comment on the proposed landscape solution.  The City anticipates that being completed over the next month or so.   It will be posted here when we get it.  Planting will be done in the spring of 2010.  It was a good meeting and we are looking forward to being part of the collaboration.  Thanks for everyone's support and comments.
