City Manager Michael V. O’Brien said, "This project brings the health benefits of a beautiful environment to thousands of seniors who both enjoy and help to maintain the flower and vegetable gardens, bocce court, sitting areas and natural surroundings at the Senior Center. It further improves the landscape on Vernon Hill as well as addressing the limitations of resources available to operate the Senior Center. I commend Ms. Barbara Lynch, Field Sales Representative for Tufts Health Plan Medicare Preferred, for organizing this project and I am grateful for the support offered by all partners involved."
