Designers
Sarah Kish
and
Janice Reilly
have completed a landscape design for Community Living Network’s newest
affordable housing in

A rambling Victorian house near
Newton
Center
will become affordable housing for seniors. Occupancy date is
expected to be fall 2005.
|
Eric Hintsa, Fran Hintsa’s son, directs volunteers in the
identification of choice and treasured perennials and shrubs from his
mother’s garden. The plants will be re-located to a new garden
at the CLN housing site next door as soon as construction is
completed.
|
Virginia Robinson, the CLN volunteer spearheading the landscape
initiative, has been the liaison with COG’s designers.

A young umbrella pine will become part of the new
Fran
Hintsa
Memorial
Garden
if determined volunteers (
