Charter Oak’s commitments to ending hunger in Hartford and to providing a safe and nurturing environment to the children in our neighborhood led to the creation of Putting Down Roots in Hartford, a program that welcomes children, free of charge, to participate in creating, maintaining and harvesting organic vegetables from the gardens in our courtyard.

Putting Down Roots in Hartford is funded in part by Aetna and the Ellis A. Gimbel Trust.

Check the Youth Arts Institute page for information about this program.
