The learning is in the doing
This is the most used space in the entire Great Park. Where did the 59 acres for the botanical garden go? Parks are synonymous with gardens Gardens nurture the souls Nature walks can combine with the gardens We need a world‐class botanical garden Gardens will bring together people of all ages OC has its roots in agriculture Every Great Park needs a great garden Original plan had 59 acres for gardens—what happened to that plan? World‐class garden—people would come to see it Walkways could connect all sections of the park (like Central Park) We need gardens to decompress Plans look very sterile—need to soften them with greener landscape It’s a Great Park that should look like a great park. Every great park has a great garden Would like to see long meandering walkways throughout This park can be an escape from Irvine Would like space for families to walk and talk We’re missing a green space for this generation They don’t know what they don’t have until they get it We live stressful lives—where do we go to relax? We need a place to relax our souls It can not only be the Great Park, it can also be the Healthy Park The park gives a push towards sports, not culture We need a passive park for all ages Want a sense of history (trees/museums) We need more passiveness Children quickly forget the importance of agriculture Humans are imminently attached to nature Where did the botanical garden go? Garden allows something for everybody City needs to be more cognizant of the garden users Don’t see enough gardens and arboretums Great attraction to have gardens to draw others in aside from sports Want to see trees, shrubs, floral, nature walk Will there be a sustainable garden in current plans? 59 acres that were in original plans for botanical garden, is that still there? Want destination garden/arboretum. Not everyone comes for sports Cars coming in from all over, contributing to pollution. Want more gardens to contract it Wants more than just grass Many people and resources who would help with garden spaces Gardens are huge—could have fun teaching component. Could wrap community garden around the Farm + Food Lab Community garden will be occupied by Irvine residents.
