Downtown Greens, a community garden in downtown Fredericksburg, has submitted a letter of intent to the Fredericksburg Economic Development Authority to purchase the property adjacent to Braehead Farm in the city s Battlefield Industrial Park. Sarah Perry, Downtown Greens director, said she and board members toured the property earlier this spring and submitted their letter of intent to the EDA on April 7. She said the organization sees buying the property as an opportunity to expand its programming in the areas of sustainable agriculture, environmental education and land conservation.  We started getting really excited and talking to people who might partner with us to expand [our operation] in this way, she said. We realized that there is a lot of enthusiasm and a lot of people who are interested in saving this piece of property—and not just saving it but turning it into this new, beautiful space that the whole community can enjoy.
