Proud members of the National, Regional and Connecticut contingents visited the Connecticut Science Center on September 20 for an interactive tour followed by the groundbreaking of the FGCC Rooftop Childrens' Garden.

The Connecticut Science Center is dedicated to inspiring lifelong learning through interactive and innovative experiences that explore our changing world through science. To that end, Dee Mozzochi, FGCC Connecticut Science Center Childrens' Garden Chair, has worked with Maria Nahom, FGCC Past President, Donna Nowak, FGCC President, and Kathrine Neville, FGCC Horticulture Chair to realize the dream of constructing a rooftop terrace garden for all visitors to enjoy. Over 50 member clubs, three private donors, and the FGCC Board have provided funding for the project.
