Union County Commissioner Sergio Granados and Commissioner Joe Bodek toured and helped harvest garlic at the Linden School No. 4 Garden. The garlic in particular is a student favorite—and these plants that the students harvested were later donated to local senior residents of the Ann J. Ferguson Towers.
Thank you for the invite!
Our K-Kids are working together to plant vegetables and flowers in our School No. 5 Garden.
Today Commissioner Granados joined students and staff of Linden Academy of Science and Technology for their first ever planting!
Linden Public Schools aim to prepare all students for their individual lives and for their roles as citizens in this technology-rich and scientifically complex world. Gardens are a great way to implement science and technology through the studies of different organisms, plants, and even the creation of different devices to detect soil fertility, chemicals, and water.
Thank you to all who participated and made this possible.
Chairman Granados and Commissioner Kowalski joined students and staff of Linden Public Schools, School No. 4 for a demonstration of their amazing STEM program incorporated to their school garden!

Thank you to the students and staff for all these amazing ideas and products!
