Description
This year, Teatown is proud to partner with the Sing Sing Prison Museum for a special donation of plants to be sent to the Sing Sing Garden Project.
There is a long history of gardening within the walls of Sing Sing Prison. What began as a dusty dirt plot within the prison walls was transformed into a rose garden more than 100 years ago. Today, those gardens are still utilized and maintained as therapeutic gardens by the men receiving support from the Sing Sing Office of Mental Health. More than 40% of incarcerated individuals benefit from mental health services at Sing Sing. Rehabilitation comes in many forms, and therapeutic gardening has recently been introduced as part of some treatment plans at Sing Sing.
Now, for just $10/plant, you have the opportunity to contribute to this garden project by donating a plant on behalf of Teatown and the Sing Sing Prison Museum.
The list of plants below will be delivered by Hudson Link after PlantFest.
- Baptisia Indigo Spires
