It was a historic moment when Roosevelt Island's historian, Judy Berdy, asked the Roosevelt Island Garden Club to help with plantings in front of the Tourist Visitor Center down hill from the Tram station. With the upcoming celebration of the Tram's 40th birthday, we jumped into action. We joined forces with the tram operators by stringing their hose and hooking up three of our hoses to get water all the way to the visitor center and a small team of volunteers (Neal Weissman, Julia Ferguson, Sande Elinson, Curtis Lowrey, and JT Poirier, one of our wait-list connections) pitched in and helped with the planting of new roses, hyssop, and portuluca rose moss. Now when people come home on the tram, they can look down and see some additional beauty which wasn't there before.
