Giving back to the roots of our community! 🌹🌿

Members of the First County Bank team spent a wonderful afternoon volunteering at the beautiful Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens in Stamford.

Our team pitched in to w**d the Mehlquist Rose Garden and spread fresh wood chips across the grounds under the guidance of Joe Tully, Buildings & Grounds Manager. To top off an enriching afternoon, Bartlett Arboretum CEO Tracy Kay took our volunteers on a guided tour, sharing the fascinating history of the gardens and their diverse plant collections.

Bartlett Arboretum & Gardens is an incredible local nonprofit, and we are proud to continue our long-standing partnership with an organization that does so much to preserve green space and inspire environmental stewardship in our community.

Thank you to everyone at the Arboretum for hosting us and to our amazing team of volunteers for lending a hand! 💚
