On May 20, 2025, “It Happens Here,” a TV segment about Lexington’s Emery Park, was produced by Breana Pitts of WBZ-TV Boston. The Lexington Field & Garden Club members included Kathy Leva, Chris Kochanski, Christina Gamota, Regina Sutton, and Gail Harris. Breana was interested in learning more about the garden club and its civic gardening efforts. Chris related her experiences as the current steward and Chistina provided historical background of Emery Park. Breana helped plant new flowers with us, and we managed to do some pruning as well.
It was a wonderful and exciting experience! It certainly promoted our garden club, its civic gardening program, and the fact that we are the oldest garden club in Massachusetts.
“It Happens Here” will air on May 22 between 5 a.m. and 6 a.m. and again between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. Anyone wishing to join the Lexington Field & Garden Club can do so online at www.lexgarden.org.
