While the garden season is coming to a close, we still have bell peppers, swiss chard and sweet peppers growing beautifully! Our melons and tomatoes had a great season, and we can’t wait to plant them again next season!

Union County Commissioner Michèle Delisfort and Union County Commissioner Sergio Granados visited the Union County Community Garden in Elizabeth.
The garden has amazing fresh produce which includes eggplant!
Did you know that eggplants are related to potatoes, tomatoes, and peppers? They are! More interestingly, New Jersey produces the most eggplants in the U.S.
