OTHER WAYS TO HELP

Other donations beyond furnishings will help fund our community programs. 

Funding for the construction of the greenhouses was obtained with a combination of private donations and grants. Long-term maintenance and operating costs will be funded by support from the City of New Rochelle (utilities and insurance), grants for environmental programming, private donations, fund raising activities (e.g. plant and birdseed sales) and by fees arising from small events and persons or groups who want to plant and grow in the greenhouses.

Hudson Park Children's Greenhouse will have two part-time staff employees including a Executive Director (20 hours/week) and an Greenhouse Manager (20 hours/week.) In addition to staffing, we will have expenses related to running the buildings including electricity, heating, water, phone/internet, web maintenance, insurance, plant supplies, educational material and literature. Thank you in advance for your support.
