![From a DLN article: Gene Gagliardi, in tan jacket, and his wife, Joan, look at a cast iron fountain they once owned as [Friends of Marshall Square Park] volunteers prepare to unload and return it to Marshall Square Park in West Chester on Monday, May 14, 2012. A committee is in the works to have it restored and placed back in the park after it was removed decades ago.

Congratulations on all you’ve done. We’re now having the Kendal-Crosslands (CCRC near Longwood Gardens) accredited as an Arboretum. We want to learn how you mapped your trees, and we want to invite you to our arboretum inauguration event on Arbor Day (April 26, 2013)
