GCH provides funding for electricity, water and gas when Knox Parks Foundation begins to use the old Whiting Lane Greenhouses in West Hartford for community gardening. Members join with gardeners from the surrounding communities to fill the greenhouses with flats of flowers and vegetable seedlings, which are then planted out in 14 community gardens throughout the Hartford area. In partnership with the Knox Parks Foundation and the City of Hartford, and with a lot of student help, we also plant 27 trees throughout city schoolyards. We also help fund Knox Parks Foundation’s expenses for training five Hartford teachers in the indoor gardening program, including supplies, equipment and a classroom grow lab.
