About the event

Our annual Westchester Garden Walk is more than a means to show off our beautiful village; it is yet another way that Grassroots Garden Group is able to support the work of the Westchester Food Pantry. Run entirely by volunteers, the pantry serves hundreds of local food insecure households every month. By donating the proceeds of Grassroots Garden Group events directly to the Westchester Food Pantry, the community has contributed over $14,500 in the past 4 years.

We hope you'll join us this year!
