Join us for a family-friendly event to celebrate the grand opening of the Heroes Garden at the Fells Branch, including story time, crafts, Paw Patrol, treats, everyday heroes and WFL giveaways. All ages are welcome! The Heroes Garden was made possible by the generosity of an anonymous donor, in honor of Wellesley’s heroes, who keep us safe and healthy ever day.
We would like to also extend an additional thank you to the Wellesley Free Library Foundation, Wellesley's Community Preservation Committee, The John and Ann-Mara Lanza Family and the Wellesley Garden Study Club for their support.
