Anthony Longo, Jennifer Schuppert, Marcos Miller, Julia Ferguson, Christina Delfico and more gardeners helped regularly alongside RISA members with Barbara Parker taking the lead and new Carter Burden Center director Lisa Fernandez joining in.
The patio became a lush and relaxing haven with RIGC donated seeds, containers, plants, and compost and RISA donated plantings and "pot luck" additions from seniors. Two picnics pre-Memorial Day and pre-Labor Day bookended a really wonderful pilot project.
