Give local with connecticut community foundation
Give Local with Connecticut Community Foundation
Give Local with Connecticut Community Foundation
Help the Hotel win prizes for participation and donations during this 36-hour giving campaign. Your gift could be dramatically increased based on various gift challenges that are happening throughout the two days.
This year the Hotel is creating a period kitchen garden that will represent the plants and flowers that would have been grown in the 1840s and this is being provided to us through a cooperative agreement with the UConn Extension Master Gardener Program.
The garden will be a 20 X 20-foot area surrounded by a white picket fence. Inside will be native plants and pathways, reflecting what would have been used by many homes and businesses like the Hotel with herbs, flowers and medicinal plants. The perennial plants will be labeled with markers. The Hotel is responsible for purchasing all the plants to be installed in the garden, as well as the materials for the fence. So, we are dedicating proceeds from the 2019 Give Local Campaign to this project.
