Modern Atelier sales benefit Evergreen Cemetery
Richmond parfumer Modern Atelier is donating $$$ to the volunteers at Evergreen Cemetery from sales of her Evergreen Cemetery scent:
$5 from the sale of every bottle of the perfume (appropriately wild and evergreen!) goes straight to these volunteers to help buy tools, gas for weed eaters and lawnmowers, and other supplies. Modern Atelier donated $50 to kick things off and buy a lopper for cutting back smaller brush and vines.
Is there someone with the Cemetery that I could contact to help out with any work going on there?
Contact John Shuck at jshuck@rocketmail.com or (804)728-9475.
A good idea that could work here:
Hampton wants to have state law changed so they can use jail inmates to do work at troubled private cemeteries.
