Bryant Gardens Gets Beautification Award

The White Plains Beautification Foundation presented the Bryant Gardens Cooperative with its 2009 Neighborhood Beautification Award at its November meeting.

White Plains Beautification Foundation President Mary R. Merenda presented the Award on Monday, November 16, 2009 at a meeting at 12:30 pm in the White Plains Public Library, Room B, 2nd Floor. She said the “lovely gardens this year” at Bryant Gardens enhance the City of White Plains, helping to make it a “city within a garden.”

Bryant Gardens Board of Directors President Gaierose Haskel pointed to a long-term commitment to beautification that began over two decades ago when Mr. Orlofsky took over as Property Manager.  Supported by the Board and assisted throughout by Head Gardener Tony Garrido, Mr. Orlofsky has directed the plantings and improvements, garnering earlier awards in 1991 and 1998

According to Ms. Haskel, this latest award is yet another “tribute to the vision and direction” of Mr. Orlofsky.

The White Plains Beautification Foundation is a not-for-profit charitable organization comprised entirely of volunteers. One of the Foundation's goals is to have people think of White Plains not just as a major business and shopping center, but as "A City in the Park."

The Bryant Gardens Cooperative, located in White Plains, NY off Bryant Avenue, between Mamaroneck Ave and North Street, consists of fifteen two-story Colonial style garden apartment buildings nestled on 22 acres in a park-like setting minutes from downtown White Plains.
