  1. Here is another alternative approach. Try something different. Think big. Make the Domes and Mitchell Park the heart of Milwaukee’s horticultural community/Green Zone and a significant destination for visitors and residents. How? (1) Repair/revitalize the Domes; (2) Recreate a version of the Sunken Gardens and Fountains; (3) Make the communities to the south and west the Green Zone, with friendly competition for the most beautiful block; (4) Plant lots of trees; (5) Engage community schools and NFPs like Journey House to focus on environmental/horticultural education linked to the Domes and specific blocks; (5) create apprenticeships for training; (6) And, most important, create a not-for-profit entity to effectively fund-raise, market and manage the Domes and all of the related programs.
