Shul members Tom Byrne, Adrianne Greenberg and Veronica Kaliski have been carrying on Sy Brittman’s work at Andrew Levin Park, and the results are stunning, as a meandering stroll through the park will attest. In fact, as we seek out ways to lift our spirits during the Covid crisis, you might consider a visit to the park a mental health break.

Now comes this request from the green thumbers: ground cover. Perhaps you have some areas on your own property dense with ivy or pachysandra or mazus. How about thinning your crop a bit and donating the harvest to the park. Sure, the planters could purchase ground cover, but your contributions will save money and provide the satisfaction that you’ve donated to a beautiful project.

Those with ground cover to spare can call the shul at 631-477-0232, and leave a message for Adrianne or Veronica.
