Event/activity: Enjoy the at Sachem Public Library

About: When the weather is nice, grab a book, bring your lunch and take a seat on a bench in the Inside/Out Garden at Sachem Public Library. Already one of the largest libraries on Long Island, they outdid themselves and pleased the community by adding the garden last year just across from the building. 

The open space is accompanied by shade, big trees, strolling gardens, areas of contemplation and an outdoor concert area on the great lawn. The circular ribbon walk travels around the garden, allowing visitors to be stimulated by the many eye-catching elements.

There are various plants to match the four seasons on Long Island. From summer and spring flowers to fall shrubs and winter red and yellow stem dogwood trees, every inch of the garden was constructed with a visual plan in mind.
