You hear the word "unique" a lot, but very few things are truly unique.  Marcy Klein's and Rick Schaeffer's garden is the exception.  It is absolutely unique, from the tall Roman columns with the busts mounted on top to the stonework "maze" garden.  You can peek over the walls at this magical space, but opportunities to see it from the  inside and talk to its creators are few.  Don't miss this on next Wednesday, August 10th from 5:30-6:30 PM.   Enter the garden across the street from 27 Ravenwood Avenue.

19th Ward Gardens
It’s that time of year again. We will soon be in our gardens enjoying the beauty, and visiting with neighbors. Let’s keep in mind that we have community gardens also, and we have a contract with the City or Rochester that we will maintain their beauty. We need volunteers to work in the Chili Thurston Garden and in the Ravenwood Thurston garden. We could also use a few volunteers who would be willing to work at Aberdeen Square. Call the Office, 328-6571 if you can volunteer an hour occasionally.
The Day of Caring is scheduled for Thursday, May 12. A number of people will leave their work place that day and assist us in our gardens. Thank you thank you. Please plan to join them that day. We need a few 19th Ward residents in each of those gardens to work alongside the group of volunteers from other places.
