Building permit values slow in August
September 13, 2019
Building permit values slowed in August and year-to-date values remain lower than those in the first eight months of 2018.
Community Food Forests and Orchards
We are proud to provide concentrated edible landscape plantings across our City. Many of these initiatives are managed in partnership with community groups. All fruits and nuts grown on parkland are fair game to the public. Please harvest respectfully, being sure to leave some for others. Public access and harvest does not extend to other gardening sites including Garden Plots and Community Gardens. The public is not permitted to pick from privately grown annual gardens.
