Harvesting is underway and our volunteers love the hands-on experience.
Planting & First Veggies
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.
June Update
The garden has a rain gauge. All of the plants have flowers – waiting for the tomatoes and cucumbers.
Raised Bed at Hanson Park
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.
