James Underwood Crockett '35 Memorial Garden at the Leverett Saltonstall state office building at 100 Cambridge Street, Boston
In the spring of 1989, at the request of the Mass. Commissioner of Agriculture August Schumacher, Jr., ATG created a 3,000 square foot garden at the Leverett Saltonstall state office building at 100 Cambridge Street, Boston as a memorial to James Underwood Crockett ’35. ATG, Inc. purchased or had alumni donate gravel, stone dust, 7,000 Boston pavers, 6 engraved granite benches a granite plaque, trees, shrubs, perennials, annual flowers, equipment and labor. ATG Alumni and Active Chapter members worked together for twelve years to plant annual flowers and maintain this urban oasis to 2001 when luxury condos were built on the site.
