This month: Annie Simmermon at Noe Beaver Mini Park on April 27th. Interview and photo by NPC volunteer Joyce Pedersen. 
How often do you come to this park?
Annie: This is my first time in the gardens.
What do you like best about this park?
Annie: It is nestled into the street which makes it quiet and peaceful. Herbs and vegetables are planted in the garden. Bird feeders hang in the trees.
What, if any, improvements or suggestions would you have?
Annie: While I like the fence around the park, it both protects and hides the park from site. Making it easy to pass by without notice of the gardens. I’d suggest that the garden hours be extended. Late afternoon on Sunday evenings, the park is closed and the gates are locked.
