The newly renovated Abbot Public Library, 235 Pleasant Street in Marblehead, recently dedicated a bronze plaque to honor the Driftwood Garden Club’s many years of service in the gardens.
The plaque, located on the brick wall on the Maverick Street side, reads “with gratitude to the Driftwood Garden Club, established 1952, whose members have designed, planted and cared for the library’s gardens for many decades.”
Library Director Kimberly Grad welcomed us with refreshments in the bright Event Center meeting room. She thanked our members for their dedication, and she praised DGC member and landscape architect Kathy Bradford, of Bradford Design Associates, for her sustainable landscape design.
We followed Kim for a tour of the light and airy building and marveled at the flexible floor plan, self-checkout kiosk, and comfortable seating in fireplace room. While the building is still getting finishing touches, it will be a treasured resource for everyone in Marblehead to enjoy. We look forward to getting back to work in the gardens!
