Free Library of New Hope & Solebury Gardens Focus of Eagle Scout Project

Solebury Boy Scout Troop # 34 has started a monumental gardening project for the Free Library of New Hope & Solebury in an effort to secure and beautify the property. These altruistic and appreciated efforts are being led by Samuel Present as his community service project on his path to becoming an Eagle Scout. The project consists of clearing & removal of debris, pruning, weeding, redesigning beds, planting, replacing fencing, ground leveling, mulching, and adding garden benches and ornaments as donations enable. Work in the garden started in March with projected completion by the end of May.

The Board of Trustees of the Library, the communities of New Hope & Solebury, and visiting guests all appreciate the efforts of these young men, as well as the many parents and adults who have assisted this endeavor. Many thanks to Library patrons for their continuing monetary donations. Tremendous thanks also to the local businesses and landscape professionals for donations of materials and services, including Michael Richardson, Eve Minson, Patty Shiel, Lisa Mui, Geri Delevich, Cole Nurseries, Delaware Valley College, Bountiful Acres, and Tinsman Brothers.

Donations of materials or funds are still being accepted and may be channeled directly through the Library by contacting Lawrence Booth at 609-213-7079 or lpbooth9@yahoo.com
