About Person to Person and Rowayton Gardeners Club
Person to Person provides individuals and families in lower Fairfield County with assistance for basic needs to overcome daily challenges and gain access to resources that improve their lives.
P2P reaches 28,000 individuals each year with vital services including Food Assistance. Food insecurity is a growing problem in our county and providing healthy, nutritious food is a cornerstone of Person to Person’s mission.
Since the mid-1950’s, the Rowayton Gardeners Club has worked to enhance knowledge and stimulate an interest in gardening through its garden education programs for adults, children and the general community.
The Club cares for and maintains eight community gardens, provides outreach programs through Garden Therapy at Hilltop Homes and Grassroots Tennis and has spearheaded and participated in environmental awareness projects, working with other civic organizations in Norwalk, to keep our community green and growing for generations to come.
