Custodians:

Anna Bekerman and Jutta Mason had an hour's walkabout in the park in late June, 2017. Here is Anna's list of what needs doing:

For Parks/Forestry crews:

1. Remove metal fences from behind the big bake oven

2. Trim grass right up to the flower boxes around the seating area next to the big bake oven ("Dan's Table")

3. Cut down the burdock and choke cherry suckers spreading west of the big bake oven, and to edge the 'cedar garden' in that area.

4. Look at the dying tree behind the big bake oven, remove/trim

5. Circular garden near the field house: ask Parks to take apart the fencing, mow down nettles and other growth between the trees. Use the split rails to repair other fences in the park such as the Savannah garden (just north of the hockey pad) and the playground. Also remove any invasive species such as elm or tree of heaven.

6. Near the black walnut trees (SW corner of the park): cut down remaining undergrowth around the wild plum

7. Two forestry plantings parallel to Dufferin (SW corner of the park): thin and remove dogwoods to create clear sight-lines

8. Fountain garden: clean up the dead branches around the perimeter

9. Gardens running along the east/west path that hits Dufferin half-way down the park: clean up the undergrowth, keep the small trees and shrubs, ensure there are clear sight-lines

10. Inspect cherry tree in the vegetable garden

For Dufferin gardeners:

1. Clean up the garden around the big bake oven and create edge around it

2. Weed around the ash pit

3. Weed savannah garden

4. Remove dogwood growing around the white pine just south of the round garden by field house

5. Move morning glory fences from beside the tree nursery

6. Tidy and edge the raspberry patch behind the cob courtyard
