The Director suggested that the planting could be scaled back by just planting inside the established trails, which would include approximately 40K sq. ft. versus the current 65K sq. ft. It was noted there would be a cost savings on at least the planting side. It was further noted that the mowed turf space around the perimeter of the garden would draw more attention to the wildflowers. 6. NEW BUSINESS a.
