2,228 6:11 am PST, Nov 5 Ms. Maryanne Warkentin Though the proposal for a new hospital would seem positive all around, we cannot destroy part of our beautiful environment to do it. Once gone, we would not be able to get it back. Think of the consequences, and choose a different location..please.  
2,227 7:48 pm PST, Nov 4 Mrs. Donna Palmer Kunz I've been going to Bermuda all my life and there was never I time I didn't stop at the garden. Shame on you for even thinking of distroying something so beautiful!!!!  
2,226 7:35 pm PST, Nov 4 Mrs. Joy Klvana Every summer from 4 years old to 18 I spent my summers in Bermuda. Every night my Aunt who I stayed with would take us to the gardens to play. When I would visit in the spring we would always attend the Ag show and I still cherish these memories. Last April after 16 years away from BDA I returned with my children. I brought them to the Ag show and we walked through the gardens.Bermuda is still beautiful but I was shocked at the growth and traffic. There is not much green left in Bermuda so please do not destroy your beautiful gardens, a place for people to learn, stroll and be a part of nature.

2,221 2:29 am PST, Nov 3   Jason A Anderson If we do not save this important open space there won't be any open space left in 20 years!  
2,220 8:29 pm PST, Nov 2 Mr. Diego Harmsen Villa Very bad people allways whan't the best for their own, such a shame they don't realise that what they think it's the "best" for them, is not the best for anybody, not even for their own...
2,219 10:07 am PST, Nov 2 Mr. Kenneth Symonds Please do not take away from one of Bermuda's finest and most beautiful open lands that we have. I love the gardens and have spent many a time there just to unwind and relax  
2,218 10:07 am PST, Nov 2 Mrs. Anne-Marie Porteous Bermuda is loosing to much open land and this would be a travisty to loose such a beautiful piece of Nature & Bermuda History to another building and more pollution.  
2,217 6:27 pm PST, Nov 1 Ms. Natalie Sannemalm such a shame, bermuda needs it's beauty to survive too.  
2,216 5:14 pm PST, Nov 1 Mr. Anonymous    
2,215 4:50 pm PST, Nov 1   Patricia M. Hoffman    
2,214 3:07 pm PST, Nov 1   Robert Outerbridge As Bermuda becomes ever more congested, open spaces must be protected. The Botanical Gardens should be on a list of untouchable property.  
2,213 12:41 pm PST, Nov 1   Rob Sullivan    
2,212 10:26 am PST, Nov 1 Mr. Paul Norton please save your future

2,210 9:16 am PST, Nov 1 Ms. D White    
2,209 8:43 am PST, Nov 1   Calley Outerbridge Frith Please save Bermuda's beautiful Botanic Gardens. What would Bermuda be without its lovely open spaces -- for all to enjoy? It would be another small, crowded place with wall-to-wall buildings. Can you imagine?!  
2,208 8:43 am PST, Nov 1   Duncan Simons There are too many alternatives to building on the Gardens. Let see some creative solutions. The government must halt new development on virgin land and focus new developemnt on the City of Hamilton and brownfield sites.
