Matt's Garden

Matt's garden at North Branford High School. A few new plantings and bags of mulch. Looking good for Matt's Mission 5K on May 20th starting at 9:00.

I planted this garden in 2009 with family and friends at the exit of the high school parking lot in loving memory of my son, Matt Picciuto. I take care of the garden myself, weeding, fertilizing, adding new plants and mulch as needed. 

, family and friends made generous donations to help with the purchase of the top soil, bulbs, shrubs,perenniels and mulch. My friends and family gathered at NBHS to help me plant, design and create Matt's garden. I remember it being a very emotional day! 

The sign was purchased from The . , the owner donated a portion of his fee. So many people are generous and kind.
