OUR ROOTS...
Armstrong Court Community Organic Garden was founded in April 2009 by a group of community members dedicated
to organic gardening, sustainable living and the belief that community gardens can change health, wellness and the
attitudes of the gardeners it serves.
Located at the 144-unit Armstrong Court Housing Complex in Greenwich, CT, this nearly 15,000 square foot garden
dates back to the late 1960s, but was left dormant for over 25 years. Led by Greenwich resident and life-long organic gardener, Patty Sechi, a leadership group of seven is responsible for the garden's rebirth, with the goal of creating a self- sustaining food source for residents of Armstrong Court and for members of the community. In 2011, we started work on two new gardens at Armstrong Court, a native plant garden and a Butterfly Teaching Garden.

We are committed to creating and supporting organic community gardens throughout Greenwich in order to ensure access
to healthy and economical food, to create opportunities for community building, and to encourage exercise, health
and wellness.
