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.
