Chairman Granados attended the School Garden Grant Program alongside students from Abraham Lincoln School No.14 in Elizabeth!
This year, School No. 14 welcomed two new raised bed gardens. Often, raised beds are more productive than beds in the ground because the soil is less compacted, has better drainage, and warms earlier in the spring. We can’t wait to see the growth of these gardens!
Union County Commissioner Chairman Sergio Granados and Commissioner Kowalski joined students from William F. Halloran School No. 22 for a tour of their garden!
Not only did they receive a tour, they were also present for the school’s petting day. Among these special guests were chickens, bunnies, a goat, a cow, a sheep, and a turkey.
We joined Mrs. Montalvo and her students for a tour of the Juan Pablo Duarte School No. 28 garden!
This garden is full of many surprises. Students are currently help grow blackberries and raspberries as well as watermelons. In addition, they are currently growing calla lilies, milkweed, potatoes, zucchini, carrots, and parsley.
