The Nicholas Center Donates Trees To Pleasantville Garden

PLEASANTVILLE, NY – The Nicholas Center, a non-profit organization specializing in Autism support, has donated three trees to the Pleasantville Collaborative Garden.

The donation of three White Dogwood seedlings was part of The Nicholas Center's celebration of Arbor Day 2021. The Collaborative Garden is an initiative led by community volunteers and will utilize a portion of the Pleasantville United Methodist Church property, which closed its door in 2019.

The produce harvested is intended to benefit the community, including a local food pantry. Additional projects include a pollinator pathway, nature path, and outdoor classroom.

“The Nicholas Center is proud to volunteer at the local community garden in Pleasantville," said Jeremy Scalchunes, Clinical Director of The NicholasCenter, in a prepared statement. "This partnership provides participants of The Nicholas Center with meaningful work experience, education, and the joy of giving back. We look forward to being a part of this project and its expansion.”
