It is a big pile of trees of which to dispose!  The garden land is owned by Gardeners in Community Development, and we offer gardening opportunities there for refugee families.   The current gardeners at Live Oak Community Garden include Cambodian, Bhutanese, and a Congo family, and with the tree now no longer blocking the sun we will add up to 10 more.  The produce grown is very needed by these folks, they eat some and sell to other needy families.  Our program is a 501(c)(3), and the garden land is tax exempt because we provide services to impoverished people there.  Grants and cash donations have taken a hit these last two years, so we are struggling.

This problem actually exists at two locations.  On Fitzhugh street at the Live Oak garden, the lot address is 1303 N Fitzhugh.  The tree workers also left a pile on the next street up, at 1312 N Prairie.
