I'm willing to accept certain compromises in its restoration, because perhaps its design isn't as appropriate with the new park and buildings that will surround it. But I certainly hope it bears at least a direct resemblance of the original design.narhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296829263868006030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324180325082571079.post-35635720399387582652007-11-15T15:09:00.000-05:002007-11-15T15:09:00.000-05:00Oh, of course not that is why I am hoping to work ...Oh, of course not that is why I am hoping to work closely with the garden roof representatives. <BR/><BR/>Originally the park had some native plants. Weeping Willows, jasminodes and ilex. The problem was that the wrong specie of the crepe myrtles was used and I think the grass idea was a bit adventurous. As you noticed those 2 things had problems, either being removed or died off. <BR/><BR/>The crepe Myrtles are going to be pricey but there are plenty of jasmine and ilex to find here...and they love this climate.<BR/><BR/>I just got an email from a student in Mexico City who is doing a project about Kiley Gardens.Christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12030002469165010684noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2324180325082571079.post-22505830992187908012007-11-12T17:10:00.000-05:002007-11-12T17:10:00.000-05:00You wouldn't want to contribute plants/vegetation ...You wouldn't want to contribute plants/vegetation that are beyond the city's capacity for upkeep & maintenance.narhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15296829263868006030noreply@blogger.com
