A club based at Staples High School dedicated to building produce gardens and bringing nutritional education to low income communities.
Who We Are
"Teach people how to grow and use fresh produce — improving nutrition across CT."
We are working towards a future where everyone has access to fresh produce and the facilities to maintain a nutritious diet. Through hands-on garden education, community bed builds, and local partnerships, Grow CT bridges the gap between food insecurity and sustainable nourishment.
