    I passed by Station Park the day the Garden Club installed the new native plant garden. Well, the hard work of the students from Minuteman was prodigious and the expertise of the Garden Club members impressive. What a beautiful result of good ideas, of working together with hands-on labor, plant expertise and good weather. So many groups and people came together to create a garden miracle. I urge everyone to take a few moments, stop by Station Park (which is truly an undiscovered treasure in our midst) and look at the new plants in their baby state. We can all enjoy and be a part of the growth and progress there in our midst. Gardens are life.

    Congratulations to LGC from a big fan. Mary Ann Hales, Huckleberry Hill
