Paul Pozzi started working for the Allentown Parks Department in 1979. In 1985, he joined the small crew at the Rose and Old Fashioned Gardens. For the last fifteen years, the gardens had been solely under his magnificent care. We who take solace in that magic place owe him a debt of gratitude.
Paul retired this past winter. Early visitors to the gardens this spring have noticed that besides for the perennials which come up every year, nothing has been planted... Nothing has been cultivated or weeded.
Paul Pozzi will not be easy to replace. Besides his knowledge and love for the gardens, he did the work of three people.
