Editor's Notes
- April 28, 2010 By Barbara C. Benedict *Presented to the City of Escondido April 26, 2010
- Fields of Amber would like to help promote the beautification of Harding Street east to Rose Street along the Creek Walk.
- This presentation will enter the Creek Walk on the east end of town at Rose Street. Washington Park with the community pool is situated just a few steps north and covers the north/western corner at Rose and Washington Avenue.
- This is the entry to the bike path –which in this section is on the southern side of the canal. This side is fully fenced for safety from the canal.
- Along the first few steps heading west.
- The first section from the southern side of the creek walk – just outside the fence at the parking lot of La Torterilla grocery to the south. Across the street to the south/east is Agrusa’s Deli in the Valley Plaza Shopping Center (with the big fabric store).
- The most eastern side of the Rose Street entrance to Creek Walk, looking east. The Escondido Pregnancy and Family Care Clinic is in the parking lot to the south of the walk here. The clinic could encourage the women to get a healthy walk in after their visits.
- A sample from my home (easement). The ice plant will crawl up the chain link nicely, creating a good fire barrier. I have “endless” donations to share of this particular ice plant which is very tough, and very drought tolerant. African Daisy’s, Spanish Lavender and various wildflowers seen in the background – also very tough and drought tolerant. I propagate (home gardener style) starter plants and seeds of these drought tolerant Wildflowers to share with the public too.
- Some really pretty natural ideas.
- More pretty ideas…
- Some two by twelve inch wood beams and a few screws will make a nice, inexpensive, portable planter box for accent clusters. Just a simple four sided frame to hold in the top soil, no bottom needed.
- The majority of the trails would be naturally arranged blooms from walking-by “Johnny Apple-seeders.”
- The length of the walk lends itself to a grand scale of various Wild flowers and small decorative shurbs.
- Ideas to add spots of polish and focus along the way.
- Lightweight panels can be hung like picture frames to the chain link fence. Using nuts and bolts not screws for no destruction to fence. This would allow all pieces to be removable as needed. This allows the non-destructive removal of public art should more elaborate canal redevelopment take place in the the near or distant future.
- This structure has a nice Latin and Native American feel, an homage to the ramadas of Rincon Indian Reservation in the 70’s at fiesta time. A celebration of our local history and culture.
- When we take “ownership” of our neighborhoods in a POSTIVE way: - Seeding and sowing as we go, - The most beautiful side of our hidden valley appears, - The beauty of Escondido and our community reveal itself. - No money needed, just add people!
