Garden Angels

On Saturday, October 20th, twenty "garden angels" started the work of weeding the Children's Memorial Garden at the Holocaust Memorial and Tolerance Center in Glen Cove. We were greeted by several staff members who provided us with Dunkin' Donuts coffee and muffins, and then we set to work. And what a lot of work it was! But what fun! And after a few hours, the sun even came out for us. At noon, we relaxed and enjoyed a pizza lunch after which one of the volunteers gave us a tour of the gallery of incredible children's art. Then it was back to work. By the end of the day, we had uncovered rows of boxwoods that hadn't even been visible at 9am. What a rewarding day for all of our "garden angels."
