There's Now a Village Pollinator Garden page on the Village Website
Over the years, there's been a lot of good volunteer work going on, at the Village Pollinator Garden (corner of Partition and Montross Streets).
And before some of that history was lost, there was an effort spearheaded by Monique Luchetti and the Tree Commission team and others to gather some of that history, some photos, and some acknowledgments and get them down in writing. There's also an appeal for helping out at this garden, for those looking to add some volunteer work to their resumes and who might have an active gardening gene or two.
So for all you Saugerties-philes, brush up your Saugerties stockpile of information by visiting the "Village Pollinator Garden" page.
