Our sisters and staff celebrated Earth Day in a variety of ways. We greeted festival goers to Green Ossining’s Earth Day, welcomed volunteers to beautify Wartburg in Mount Vernon, planted native plants on the grounds of our administrative offices, and prepared the Hope Community Garden for the growing season alongside guests of The Center at Mariandale. Here are some photos from the day.
