Jim's Story
i had been working as a caretaker on louise doyle's property for 11 years. miss doyle passed away last july (2007) and i remained on as the caretaker until january 2008, assisting with the transfer of the property to the trustees of reservations, who now own and operate the entire estate on lindell avenue.
as the caretaker, i was put in charge of many of the day to day operations of the property, including tending and planting the variety of gardens, managing an organic garden and 30 tree orchard, which consisted of apples, peaches, pears and plums. there were many other responsibilities, including tending to all of the animals on the property, managing staff, creating new hiking trails, which would eventually connect with trails i took part in creating throughout the city of leominster, as part of the leominster land trust and trails committee.
