LIVINGSTON MANOR, NY — CRMG and committee partners Sullivan Renaissance and Morgan Outdoors have made a commitment to restore Livingston Manor’s Community Garden at Pearl Street and kicked off the summer season with Community Cleanup Days in May and June. The initiative, backed by a $500 grant from Sullivan Renaissance, is being carried out by the wives of two CRMG physicians. Together, they are leading the charge with a host of volunteers to turn the abandoned garden into a food-producing and educational vehicle for the community.

Volunteers are still needed to help with weeding, repairing garden beds, fencing and entryways and more. The committee’s goal is to restore the landmark as an edible and educational garden that will benefit the community at large. If you would like to volunteer your time and assist with the community garden, contact Karen Ellsweig at krebae@exede.net or Elizabeth Malacoff at elizabethmalacoff@gmail.com.
