Here’s our proposal:
• EPRD and EAS+Y form a cooperative agreement for a tiny plot of land to EAS+Y to build the garden: 1/3rd acre on 66 acres (less than 1/3rd of a baseball diamond) –
• 5 year Memorandum of Understanding
• We’ll collaborate on shed renovation on this historic garden/farm site
• Evergreen Metro District will agree to extend a 50% discount to EPRD on water tap fees for the garden
EAS+Y to build, fund and manage a Pilot Garden in Buchanan Park

Why Buchanan?The Pilot Garden will be the most successful in an area where people already play, socialize and associate with physical activity (and has great garden characteristics)
Buchanan:Historic Fahnenstiel farm site
Close to :•Schools •Retirement •HOAs•Buchanan Rec Center as a Mecca for physical activity and connection

Together let’s go from here ………………….to……….. HERE

It’s good for EPRD too:
• The garden expands EPRD non-sports programming with a minimum investment
• The garden beautifies and protects historic EPRD property
• We have a tight NON-PUBLIC funding plan and professional design that are direct results of having listened to the community’s voice
• We’re asking for the lease of a small piece of EPRD land to create a program with long term benefits to the community and EPRD
