Since 2014, the Town of Grand Island has received flowers from the Erie County Correctional Facility (ECCF) in Alden to beautify town-owned property. The horticulture program provides county inmates with an opportunity to learn new skills and spend time outdoors in the greenhouses.
All of the plants grown by inmates are donated to towns throughout Erie County for use on public property.
Retired Town Supervisor Mary Cooke and Town Hall caretaker Jim Linenfelser recently went to Alden to pick up a trailer-load of beautiful flowers and vegetables that people can now see planted all over Grand Island.
In the photos, plants in the trailer headed to Grand Island and one of the three greenhouses at the ECCF. (Submitted)
