Docents: 

The Association is in need of docents at Meadow Croft. It requires very little time, less than two hours a day, two days a month, June through October. 
If you or someone you know is interested in history, please have them contact Harriet Milsten at 631-472-4625.

Garden Help needed:
Meadow Croft’s heirloom garden is in need of some hands to dig in the dirt. The garden is a replica of the original colonial Revival garden dating back to the early 1900’s. Our new master gardener, Anne Soper, has been hard at work getting the heirloom garden ready for the season, but she can’t do it alone! If you can spare some time and muscle, please call Anne at 631-363-4731.
