Charlotte Sagoff
Memorial Garden

During 2008, a group of Acton citizens and friends set out to honor the memory of Charlotte Sagoff, a beloved citizen of Acton for many years. With the help of many local people, businesses, and town officials, a lovely new seating garden just outside the main entrance of the Acton Memorial Library will soon be a reality.

The entire community is invited to the dedication of the Charlotte Sagoff Memorial Garden on:

Saturday, September 12, 2009
from 10AM to noon
at the Acton Memorial Library

This privately funded project was organized by members of the Acton Memorial Library Board of Trustees, the Friends of the Acton Libraries, and ACES (Acton Citizens for Environmental Safety). Funding and other essential assistance has been provided by over 100 generous donors, including businesses & community organizations, and individual donors.

A dogwood tree is already growing just behind the patio-bench location, providing a beautiful backdrop to the garden. Here is a view from ground level. The overall design can be seen on this concept plan, created by Tom Tidman, Acton's Director of Natural Resources. D.P. Lenox Landscaping, Inc. carried out the brick installation and other sitework. The plantings by Cathy Fochtman and several volunteers will be evident by fall.
