Did you know we have a bee & butterfly garden at Rosemary Square??? Here's more info from the creator and be sure to check in out next time you are nearby:

"My name is Allie Harris I'm the owner of Wild Side Farms a plant nursery focusing on edibles, culinary and medical herbs. We are located in Old Miakka, Sarasota.
I've worked with Louise (Artisan Cheese Company ) for a couple years now with her container boxes in the front of the cheese shop bringing edibles and flowering plants all season long. When the opportunity opened itself to plant out the bee and butterfly garden along the side. I jumped right on it. It's a mix of Florida Native and Florida Friendly plants. A few of them are Fire Bush, Milk W**d, Native Grasses, Mimosa and Perennial Peanut. They attract Monarchs, Zebra Longwings and all sorts of local bees! It will be fun to watch this garden grow over the next seasons and bring a wild patch of the earth into the heart of Downtown Sarasota!"

When was the last time you visited Artisan Cheese Company? They are open Monday - Friday until 10am - 5pm and lunch is served from 11-4. You can find cheese (but of course), wine, gifts, catering and soooo much more. Stop by and support a gouda local business! They are grate!

What a great turn out last night for community meeting!
Key takeaways?
- Our current population is 3500 within .2 square miles. 90% live in multi-unit buildings. (We are good neighbors). As compared to the entire population of the city of 15,000 so that makes us 23%.
- We got a first look at the renderings. Stay tuned with how you can see them and provide feedback.
- We learned about the upcoming Nutcracker Festival from School. December 3rd from 9am-2pm at Rosemary Square.
- There’s a December RADD event in Rosemary Park with Sarasota Music Conservatory.
- Our city police are not only helpful but funny. There was also talk in the future of a walking beat in the district similar to what’s happening now on Main Street.
- Former RDA President Debbie Trice is representing as a City Commissioner now! Go Debbie!
- Kumquat Kitchen is a nice little eatery that’s open for every Fogartyville event.
- Fogartyville is looking good! (anyplace with a stage and seating suits me just fine)
- is a pretty talented singer and she looks really fabulous in white.
Thanks RDA!
