Come visit this sanctuary garden and learn more about the family who donated it to the Council in 1977 for the enjoyment of all the residents of Wellesley to be maintained as a native wooded garden.
We also thank Tony Czubarow who organized volunteers for his Eagle Scout project from Wellesley Boy Scout Troop 185 for a sanctuary clean up in preparation for the event. On June 4th, a dozen young men picked up scores of bags of loose leaves to help the native plants and flowers flourish.
