Partners for Parks Project Held at Wagner Farm Arboretum

Forty-five sanofi-aventis employees spent the day working hard to beautify and improve the grounds at the Wagner Farm Arboretum’s “Children's Garden”. The volunteers worked tirelessly and succeeded in placing 220 linear feet of metal edging along the main brick walkway, and spreading 12 cubic yards of wood chips along a path which connected the “Children's Garden” to the main building. In addition, many other significant projects were completed, including weeding, spreading top soil and mulching.

Volunteers were able to build 6 raised garden beds, and added new top soil and wood chips along the pathways between each of the raised beds. This work contributes to the progress of these evolving gardens that have been established to benefit community members and the general public.

Since 2000, sanofi-aventis volunteer groups have participated in 13 Partners for Parks projects, with over 300 employees participating in a variety of stewardship projects in both Morris and Somerset counties.

The Partners for Parks program is made possible in part thanks to our corporate sponsors. 2010 corporate sponsors include: BASF, Goldman Sachs & Co., Investors Savings Bank, Merck & Co., Novartis Pharmaceuticals, sanofi-aventis, UPS and Walmart.
