LM LIONS REESTABLISH SHELDRAKE GARDENS

Established in the 80s, Sheldrake Nature Center in Larchmont, where residents planted and maintained community gardens and harvested produce for community meals in the area and the Larchmont-Mamaroneck (LM) Food Pantry fell into disuse about 10 years ago.

 LM Lions Vice President Jim Killoran and Lion board member Carolyn Gallaher have taken the lead to re-establish the community garden, which will provide fresh vegetables for the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Hunger Task Force, among other recipients.

As the gardens are returned to productivity, the intent is to involve the community in the maintaining of the gardens with the help of the Fuller Center for Housing, an organization of thousands of volunteers who seek to eliminate poverty housing and homelessness throughout Westchester County.
