The Ward Melville Heritage Organization (WMHO) is pleased to announce that the garden on the Jennie Melville Village Green has been unveiled, thanks to PSEG Long Island and the Three Village Chamber of Commerce.

The garden was originally planted in honor of Jennie Melville in 1948 by the Three Village Garden Club, which she founded.

The Three Village Chamber of Commerce was the recipient of a $2,300 Beautification Grant funded by PSEG Long Island. The Chamber selected the Jennie Melville Village Green garden to receive a restoration including various plants, shrubs and flowers. 

“PSEG Long Island is pleased to support the efforts of Three Village Chamber of Commerce to create this lovely garden in its shopping district,” said John Keating, manager of Economic and Community Development at PSEG Long Island. “The PSEG Long Island Beautification grant was crafted to help local businesses in downtowns and shopping areas that struggled through the pandemic. We are proud to fund this project that will help increase foot traffic to the area and enhance the shopping experience for everyone who visits.”
