Richmond Tower residents have once again surprised us with their amazing garden!
Plainfield Towers grows a variety of plants and vegetables, including but not limited to corn, tomatoes, squash and a very distinct crop; CALLALOO!
Callaloo is a plant used in popular dishes in many Caribbean countries and it was grown thanks to Jamaican gardener Bruce.
Thank you to everyone involved in maintaining this gorgeous garden.
Planting with students in the garden.
Our garden is in full swing!
Harvesting is underway and our volunteers love the hands-on experience.
Students planted and mulched our garden. We’ve harvested lettuce, basil, garlic scapes, snow peas, and Swiss chard.
Looking for fresh apples? Look no further than Jewish Family Services in Elizabeth!
Interestingly enough, did you ever wonder why apples don’t sink in water?
Apples float in water because 25% of their volume is actually air which makes them less dense than water.
Thank you to everyone involved in helping this garden grow so beautifully.
The garden has a rain gauge. All of the plants have flowers – waiting for the tomatoes and cucumbers.
Progress of plantings along with sign-in sheet for volunteers to record weeding and watering.
Roselle Park Community Garden members have invited us for a tour of their garden!
Did you know that Roselle Park has one of the biggest gardens in Union County?
This is only possible with the help of all its members, who rent out beds to grow a variety of different crops.
We can’t wait to continue to see its growth!
Today we joined the summer campers at the Rahway YMCA for an amazing day of watering their garden!
A common rule of thumb to know is that plants need about one inch of water per week, which is enough to soak six inches of soil!
Thank you for having us.
