GM Mr. Derby,
Just sharing a Vision with you.
Portmore Resilience Park soon be completed, but what i noticed, they are planting lots of Palm Trees.
I am Proposing that they also give consideration to the Planting of some Dwarf Coconut Trees for Food Security and a income earner.
Years to come Visitors to the Portmore Resilience Park will be able to Purchase a freshly picked Coconut to have their Nutritious Coconut Water to drink at the Family Park 🌴🌴
This could also become part of the Park attraction for Visitors.
The palm trees will not feed anyone and will not assist the Government Food Security Initiatives.
We need greater Vision into the Future, not just talk, it must be follow up with Strong Actions.
Please to share with the Authorities.
Editor's Note
It would be a good idea to have several fruit trees in the park and a fish pond. Let it not be a park with too much concrete.

Your idea is well taken, but a recreational park is not a place to seek out food. The government has plenty of land where it can plant coconut trees, breadfruit trees and any other fruit trees it deems necessary for food security. We should encourage our government to provide food security by planting on unused government lands.
ReplyDeleteCan you imagine having a park with mango trees and coconut trees? You would have people who work in the park to pick things for the visitors? I can see fever grass and other useful things in the park. That would put meaning to the name 'resilience'.
DeleteSeriously? A resilience park with lots of palm trees? Got to be joking.
