These pictures were taken at Carriage Park. They show members of our partner organization, "The Community" spreading a load of mulch on a new garden for the seniors who live at the complex. Mulch came from the Township's Ecology Center on Princeton Pike. The event was jointly organized by Sustainable Lawrence, the SL satellite group at Carriage Park, and The Community.
