COMMUNITY GARDEN AND ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION
Greyston’s Community Garden Project and the Yonkers CAP have come together again this year to offer residents safe and productive green spaces in the dense urban neighborhoods of Southwest Yonkers. It is all about keeping families together, eating organic food, beautifying the community, and learning from each other.

- Who is the garden for? The garden is for anyone from the community who has become a garden member
- What do we grow? Tomatoes, peppers, basil, sage, scallions, cilantro, eggplant, oregano, cucumbers, amaranths, melons, flowers, and more!
- Who eats the food? Families planting in their garden spaces
- Do we give the food away? No, the food grown is for the families who plant
