Five Star recently partnered with the American Horticultural Society to build a web site for them that effectively demonstrated their gorgeous landscape at River Farms and their commitment to providing sustainable agriculture solutions.

River Farms, a 25-acre property in Alexandria, VA, once owned by George Washington, serves as the American Horticultural Society’s headquarters. The vast expanse of lawn, boasting more than 100,000 plants and flowers, is a beautiful haven for wildlife and a popular attraction for tourists and community members.

James Gagliardi, River Farms Horticulturalist and brother of Five Star employee Nicole Gagliardi, approached Five Star with the request for help building a web site for River Farms to more effectively promote it and involve the surrounding community. Nicole, herself, was actually able to work on her brother’s request, as an extension of Five Star Cares Program. Through Five Star Cares, Five Star donates the time of their employees so that they can contribute their talents to meaningful charitable projects, just like River Farms.

To check out the interesting and beautiful lawn at River Farms, please visit the André Bluemel Meadow web site.
