We’re so grateful to for their generous support 🌿✨

Their donation is helping bring our 18th-century kitchen garden to life on campus in honor of America’s 250th—supporting everything from design and plantings to materials. This meaningful gift also helps sustain our historic gardens, a beloved part of the Greenwich Historical Society experience.

This season’s plantings will offer visitors a glimpse into the past—exploring what people grew, cooked, and ate during the time of the American Revolution. We are very excited to have their support in bringing this unique learning experience to our community!
