Union County Commissioner Bette Jane Kowalski attended a Union County Kids Dig In! School garden tour at Winfield School.
One of the most interesting aspects of this garden is none other than their fairy garden! This garden is meant to allow students to create a whimsical world of their own as well as have a sensory friendly experience.
Students at Ola Edwards Community School (OECS) helped to prepare and plant in the raised garden beds. So far, we have planted cucumbers, tomatoes, and peppers.
Today we visited and toured none other than Victor Mravlag School No.21’s garden!
Students and staff of School No. 21 in Elizabeth were also recipients of the compost bin raffle earlier this year. Did you know that composting improves soil, reduces chemical fertilizer use, and keeps moisture in the ground? Compost also plays a crucial role in reducing methane emissions from landfills!
Thank you to the staff and students for keeping this garden looking beautiful!
Union County Commissioner Sergio Granados attended the Union County Kids Dig In Garden Tour in celebration of Portugal’s Independence Celebration at the Portuguese Instructive Social Club in Elizabeth.
Did you know that this garden is one of the few growing strawberries?
In fact, strawberries are the only fruit with seeds on the outside and the average strawberry has around 200 seeds!
