Hi Joe. We just want to let you know that we very much disagree with the decision to close the community
garden. Social distancing is not an issue there since the gardens are 10 x 24 feet. Plus, it's not like people from
outside crowd the place like happened at the beach. You can't even get in unless you paid the city for the plot
and know the padlock code. Some of us rely on our gardens for fresh produce for our families. We feel like
lumping our farm plots with the beach and playgrounds is not at all the intent of the closures, which is to
maintain social distancing among strangers at popular places. Our gardens are not popular places. Very few
residents even know they exist, much less where they are. We've never seen more than six or eight people there
at any given time and we are spread over several ACRES, not feet. Thank you for helping us with this issue
with your fellow council members.
John and Sherrie Knighton
