Donation from Gracie Mansion

We have just been given some beautiful annuals by Gracie Mansion! We have begonias, dark blue Bombay scarvola, zinnias & agastache. They're beautiful but must be planted right away this time of the year or they will dry, die and be a wasted donation. We would like to ask for your help in a community blitz planting this Saturday, July 9, from 9:00-11:00 am. If you can make it, please let us know by emailing Richie.

Thank you to our community volunteers!

The board of the Sargent-Downing Gardens and Nursery wishes to thank the community of Beacon, and the volunteers and donors who have worked to make the Garden a reality.

We are proud to announce a program in which local businesses can sponsor a tree for the City of Beacon at the cost of $100. The gift goes directly to the purchase of a tree, which will be tagged in your business’ or organization’s name. The tree will be planted in the City of Beacon in the fall of 2011.
