Rye Y Executive Director Gregg Howells remarked “We believe that school gardens embody the spirit of the Community Transformation Grant, allowing children and youth to make the “seed to table” connection, learn about nutrition, engage in physical activity and develop healthy habits that will last a lifetime. We’re delighted to be able to support school gardens in Port Chester, knowing they will make a positive difference in the lives of children and their families.”
