Also prefer using rubber mulch for plants in close proximity to home to avoid infestation of termites.

REALLY liked the addition of the Farmers' Market on campus last year! Would also like to see more vendors like the cupcake truck come here. We can't leave during the day, and even if we could there is nothing close enough to walk to. The mountain needs to come to Mohammed! And it's good for morale.
