Over the weekend a local group that had secured permission from the Town in advance - implemented a wonderful project in the Pocket Park along the Rail Trail behind Sabatinos off Broadway. "On the Road to Wellness" Group installed a "Kindness Rock Garden". Here is a little bit about it and how you can get involved along with some pictures. This is a pay it forward outreach that we started at my job. We have partnered with The Kindness Rocks Project. If you as an individual or group would like to contribute to the rock garden, that'd be great! I checked it today and there have been many already "picked"! It's going to need some Rocks planted and we'd love to see many from the community get involved! If you have any questions, feel free to message me on facebook at Paula Betts Baker or email carpediem7@comcast.net or call (603)235-1292. We'd love to see this become a fun and encouraging community outreach but it's going to take others to get involved to keep the rock garden "growing". Thanks, Paula Baker On the Road to Wellness
