Mayor Ryan: I know we have one scheduled visitor presentations so I’m going to invite the Garden by the Woods, pollinator gardens to come forward. Welcome. Laura Wood: Thank you so much. Well hello everyone. I know many of you from past going on’s in Chanhassen but my name is Laura Wood. I am owner of the Garden by the Woods. I’m right off Highway 5 and 101. Neighbors to Goodwill and we had a project that we just wanted to present to you guys. Let you know what’ going on in the community. We’re doing a pollinator garden very close to our facility and we’re inviting members of the community to come out and actually help us plant and we’re hoping that this is an ongoing project that every year we have a community event to schedule and engage the community so Linda’s going to tell you a little bit more about what the project entails. Linda Walton: Alright, well thank you so much for hearing what we have to share tonight and hopefully you will embrace our vision for this project. You should have received some information on the project in your packet for the meeting tonight. But basically in a nutshell our vision is pretty grand but this is kind of just one of those stepping stones to the final end result but basically the vision is for the City of Chanhassen to have the highest concentration of pollinator gardens in Carver County and to that end as you look at the city as a whole we’re kind of book ended by the Garden by the Woods on one end and the Minnesota Landscape Arboretum on the other end and so what we’d like to do is bring those two bookends together inside creating a lot of different pollinator spaces and I’ve been visiting some of these other pollinator spaces that we currently have within the city of Chanhassen. I’ve gone to Camp Tanadoona and saw what they’ve been doing. I went and looked at Lake Susan. They have a little spot there. We would like to really get the whole community to help us to create this beautiful pollinator space right near The Garden by the Woods and as the community sees it happening maybe residents and businesses alike would join in and create those pollinator spaces in their private lawns and get rid of those lawns and build those pollinator spaces or even office parks might embrace the idea too so that’s kind of it in a nutshell as far as our vision.
