Helping the Greenhouses
Your support for the Hudson Park Children's Greenhouse is not just a donation; it is an investment in our children's future and the community.
Every gift to the Hudson Park Children's Greenhouse helps us build a nurturing refuge where children can explore, learn, and grow and adults can cultivate gardening skills. Your generous donation funds educational programs designed to ignite imaginations and foster a love for the natural world. Together, we are planting seeds of curiosity and wonder in the next generation. Thank you for being a vital part of our community's future, sowing seeds of knowledge and joy for the next generation.
CONSTRUCTION NEARING COMPLETION
Construction on Hudson Park Children’s Greenhouse began about one year ago and is scheduled to be completed early Fall 2023.
WAYS TO HELP
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.

Hundreds of children will soon learn about gardening and plants at our greenhouse and we are thrilled that we are so close to opening.
