Growing Seedlings at MHS Community Garden

Students will partner with community groups to provide fresh produce to families in Mamaroneck. The grant funds the purchase of seedlings and the equipment needed to grow fresh, culturally appropriate produce in a section of the community garden beds at MHS. In collaboration between the grantees, the MHS Garden Club, The Transition Academy and the Larchmont-Mamaroneck Hunger Task Force, the garden will be produced and distributed to the community.

“As the advisor of the Common Ground- Cultivating for Community Club, I have seen firsthand how this grant is empowering MHS students to build a space for growing food and strengthening community connections. The members of the club are thoughtfully planning for the spring growing season to expand their impact to reach even more students and community members.” – Ms. Markowitz

“The garden is such a nice spot to have at school and I have really enjoyed using it as a calm study space!” – MHS Student
