Stewart Park’s entry landscape just received its summer haircut thanks to the Tompkins County Beautification Program and the volunteer Beautification Brigade. Don’t worry, the 'Walkers Low’ Catmint will come back strong to complement the larger Russian Sage and Switch Grasses at the center of the island. Thanks to Janine Willis, her staff, and all of the volunteers. Friends of Stewart Park greatly appreciates all they do for Stewart Park and the community.
