Thanks to the Union County Means Green Community Garden Grant, the Roselle Park Environmental Commission was able to replace some of our old wooden raised beds, and the seedlings have helped us grow well over 100lbs of organic produce in our community beds for distribution to the community!

Members of the Roselle Community Garden alongside Council President Joseph Signorello Jr., First Ward Councilman Gregory Johnson, Fourth Ward Councilman Khanjan Patel, and Fifth Ward Councilman Jay Robaina have welcomed a variety of different plants to their borough!

Did you know that a rabbit’s teeth never stop growing? They’re worn down as the rabbit chews on grass, flowers and vegetables. They can also jump a little over 3 feet high and 10 feet long!
