Last week David Gass, director of the Highlands Coalition, along with volunteers from Blue Cross/ Blue Shield built gardens for various home owners. Below is an excerpt from an e mail blast on the event:
Rich Randall and the Blue Crew from BC/BS crew built two raised-bed gardens at Mary & Grace Ishkanian's on Lily St.
They can sit and garden with the best soil and less toil.
They have lived in the Highlands for 67 years. Mary taught English at LEHS. Grace is an artist.
Last week, the Highlands Coalition built eight gardens.
We received a grant from the New England Grassroots Environmental Fund to defray costs.
Brick Ends Farm in So. Hamilton donated compost.
Nick Meninno donated a dump truck. Lynn Lumber discounted the lumber.
