Volunteer Garden Restoration Workshop
Galleting Galore In The Garden: Restoring Bartow-Pell Garden Walkways
Join an on-going volunteer effort to restore the stone walkways of the Bartow-Pell Mansion's formal garden to their original beauty. The Bartow-Pell Mansion Museum is the last of many elegant country homes that once graced Pelham Bay. Spend time in this lovely corner of the Bronx learning the traditional masonry art of galleting – the fitting of small stone gallets into masonry joints and other masonry techniques. Workshop coordinated through Heritage Conservation Network.
