WHAT WE HEARD FROM RESIDENTS

Overall, participants were supportive of this project, but there is a lack of understanding what a ‘community resilience center’ is and what residents should expect from something like this.

​

  1. There is a broad appreciation that the garden provides access to green space and the ability to grow food, especially for people who live in apartments. 

  2. There is a desire to see a ‘sharing economy’ element where people can rent/trade resources like home air purifiers, tools and other home equipment.

  3. Desire to see strong training and education elements, including resources and classes for children and the elderly.
