I used to walk by this garden all the time when I lived in North Berkeley. It was always a beautiful mystery, since I did not know who had so lovingly cultivated a piece of jungle in the city. It's a beautiful piece of art and I hope that the landlords are not so short-sighted as to force its removal.

The garden is a gift and landmark on Virginia St. I understand the need to paint the building, but I urge the landlords to find another solution than destroying a garden that is rare, beautiful and gives great value to the neighborhood. I adore this precious garden and if it is compromised will protest and use any opportunity I can to oppose the landlord and its management firm K K in any efforts of their's in Berkeley. Thank you dear Wally. Gratefully, Cassandra

This garden is a critical landmark for North Berkeley. The first day I arrived in Berkeley, this was the garden that took my breath away. Please leave this garden alone!

Wally has bent for the owners. They have refused to bend. His garden means much to the community at large and adds curb appeal to their units. Painting can easily be done without removing 4 feet of plants. This is readonable.

This garden gives beauty to those whose happy existence it is to walk through. What would life be like without these moments of beauty? A dull and sullen place, where monetary gain is truly king! Where is your heart, Mr Scrooge? If you do this thing - you might be visited by the ghost of gardens past...and I do not envy you.

I live a block away from Wally's garden. I live there at least in part *because* of his garden. It is not only beautiful but also makes me feel like I live in a community. The care that has gone into that garden is easy to see, and it makes me happy to know it is the work of a neighbor.

If only more people would care for trees and gardens - renters and homeowners alike.

How can anyone not love that garden? It makes an enormous contribution to the site, both for tenants and neighbors.

Gardening not only improves one's health, it improves our communities and neighborhoods. It benefits everyone. Wally's garden should be preserved.
