Back in April I wrote about our town's Clean and Green Day. That day the members of the town's Conservation Commission, chaired by my husband Paul, and assisted by several our of grandchildren spent many hours cleaning up a 10-acre parcel of land that has been donated to the town. Once a nursery but dormant for many years, the property is being donated by an elderly lady who wishes it to be named for her late daughter as a tranquility garden.A valuable gift to our town. Paul and his commission have continued to work on the property in preparation for a granite sign to be delivered soon and a dedication in Dr. Monica's honor sometime this fall.
In addition to the general clean up of years of leaves and overgrown brush, they have also installed a split-rail fence and spread gravel for a visitors parking area. Below are some photos I took of the progress of the project. The photo on the right was taken this last weekend after the fence project was finished.
Here are some photos of the clean up in April.
These were taken after the first phase of the fence was installed during the summer. What a difference!
And here are more from last weekend in all its fall glory!

Fantastic job! Love the garden quote.
It's amazing the transformation that took place! It looks beautiful.
I know a lot of blood, sweat and tears went into this project. It looks like a lovely haven. A perfect spot to spend a few tranquil moments. So glad it all came together the way the donor intended.
What a lot of work! But the garden is looking beautiful. Well worth it!
