Glen Rock
Local volunteers carry on tradition at arboretum
Community residents, Master Gardeners, Glen Rock
Garden Club members, and Glen Rock Daisy Scouts and
Girl Scouts recently added 1,300 daffodil bulbs to the
spring bulb display at the Thielke/Glen Rock Arboretum.
Significant contributions were made by Glen Rock Girl
Scout Troops 255, 267, 1418, 284, and 119, and the Coleman
School second grade Daisy Scouts. Middle School Troop
267 co-leaders Julie Welsi and Noreen Petraitis were on site
Gabriella Fioravanti, left, with fellow Girl Scouts
to supervise and to plant right along side their girls.
Organizing such an event takes time and perseverance.
Much of the credit for that goes to Gabriella Fioravanti, a
Glen Rock High School senior who is also a Girl Scout.
In an effort to recruit volunteers, she spoke to various
troops, including Troop 267, of which her sister Michelle
is a member. Fioravanti also recruited her parents, Cecilia
and Michael Fioravanti, who helped get all 1,300 bulbs in
the ground before dusk.
