North Hempstead Town Supervisor Judi Boswort called the award a testament to the Parks Department team including Commissioner of Parks and Recreation Arnyce Foster-Hernandez, Town Horticulturist Bonnie Klein, and the staff working at Clark Botanic Garden.

 

“I am glad they have been recognized for their passion, dedication and extraordinary efforts," Boswort said.
