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 $20,000 in the past 5 years.

We hope you'll join us this year!

You will also be able to purchase raffle tickets at the check-in tent for our fabulous raffle prizes!  Attendees are welcome to visit the gardens at their leisure, but all gardens are closed by 2pm.
