The St. Mark’s Area Civic Association (SMACA) honored husband-and-wife team Sarah Weinstein and Ken Blumberg for their 20-plus years of volunteerism in coordinating and maintaining the Tunnel Cap gardens near Shawmut Station. While the couple intends to stay involved, they are looking for younger people to take the lead on the beloved Shawmut Garden project that goes back decades.
“I don’t want to drop it and not have anyone else pick it up,” said Weinstein. “We really need more volunteers.” She was honored by civic president Michael Folan during the October monthly meeting at the Epiphany School campus on Centre Street.
