	Builder Vows To Protect Community Garden
		Cress Forester, who has spent a lot of her free time this past year taking care of the 13-year-old garden, became alarmed about its future after an Oakland developer bought the adjacent property at 1344 Noe and announced plans to tear down the existing structure and build a large, three-story condominium in its place.
		Forester was also concerned that the construction work would impede the neighbors' access to the garden and result in the removal of several trees on the sloping bit of land.
		Forester says the garden was begun and initially maintained by "lots and lots of neighbors," but it was especially nurtured by Friends of Noe Valley activist Miriam Blaustein, who lives nearby.
