Victory Garden
Security Update -
UPDATE:
The commissioner
of parks has sent official communication to FGS President,
Tim Horn, and asked that he enforce the site lines rules as
outlined in the garden rules and regulations.
If you cannot see from one end of your garden to the other,
or you have hedge style growth, this must be modified to
meet the rules we all agreed to when we signed up or renewed
our plots.
Anything in your
garden that creates a place where someone could hide is
against the rules, period.
A copy of this
letter from April 22 is below:
Subject: Fenway Community Gardens
TO: Mr.. Tim Horn, President
FROM: Commissioner Toni Pollak
Thank you for taking the time to meet with the
Boston Police and myself regarding safety issues
at the Fenway Community Garden. I think it was a
very useful exchange and I believe that a closer
working relationship between the Boston Police
and the Garden will continue to improve public
safety.
As we discussed, one of the Parks Dept. and
Police Dept. concerns is the need for visibility
into each garden plot. Over time, fences, plant
material and trees have created visual
barriers. As per our agreement with the Garden
Society it is important to keep open visual
access and I ask you to enforce this
important garden rule.
Again, thank you and I look forward to
continuing to work with you to improve the
Fenway Gardens
