From the Fort Wayne Parks and Recreation department:
"As you know, we have commenced the design project for the reimagining of the entrance to Foster Park. We have held two well-attended public input sessions, are in the process of wrapping up the topographic and site survey, and are reviewing historical documents and interviewing parks and utilities staff so that we can begin design. Concurrently, our consultant team has developed a public survey in order to collect more data to assist in the process."
If you are interested in participating in the survey you can follow this link: https://www.earthsourceinc.net/fosterparksurvey
The survey is available until the end of August.

The NOAA NWS Climate Prediction Center and National Integrated Drought Information System (NIDIS) are forecasting a "flash drought" for much of Indiana and parts of the Ohio River Valley in the coming weeks.
While drought recovery was fast and efficient this Spring, long-term groundwater and soil moisture deficits remain. With above normal temperatures and a drier pattern settling in, drought conditions may yet again rapidly develop across the Hoosier State. Those with stakes in agriculture should closely monitor soil conditions.

It’s here! This compost is high in nitrogen, and using too much can burn your plants! It’s best to use it as a supplement to your existing pots or garden beds. A little bit will go a long way! We are only getting a yard. Please take a bucket full, and share the pile with your neighbors. Happy gardening!
