Fitness/Community Room – 415 N 6 th St. La Crosse, WI - The HUB
Environment (At-Large) (E) • Create environments that highlight and respect our natural resources and connect people to the natural resources. (Physical, Community Health, Site) • Landscaping design and construction that uses native plants and edible gardens, providing food sources for people and wildlife. (Site, Community Health, Physical) • Strive to develop brownfield, grayfield, and infill sites. (Community Health, Site, Building) • Design, install and maintain raised garden boxes so residents (and neighbors!) can enjoy the benefits of fresh herbs, vegetables, and produce. In three past projects, we converted lawn/grass into community gardens, hired a gardener to maintain the garden, and partnered with the Salvation Army to provide fresh produce to community members. (Community Health, Physical, Site) • Design and finish the landscape with native plant species that offer a food source for wildlife and people (planting Raspberry bushes instead of Dogwood). The finished landscaping consists of native shrubs, grasses, and trees throughout the project. (Community Health, Physical, Site)
