I would like to voice my gratitude for the role you played in helping this project come to fruition. You were a kind of glue which tied us all together. I appreciated the flexibility you showed in working with the various obstacles and changes which happened throughout.

The garden is beautiful – even yesterday [a resident] told me that he found the space so breath taking and peaceful.  He said there was no space like this in the DTES.  He plans on using the garden more often to meditate and bring peace to his every growing anxiety.

You have been remarkable in your patience and openness to go with all of the delays and bureaucratic red tape that surrounded this project. It has been more than worth it for the community and I hope you know that we really needed you and your expertise or it still would not be complete.
