"Union County Kids Dig In!" Community Garden Grant Initiative

At Emerson Community School in Plainfield.

Union County Kids Dig In! is a grant awarded by the Union County Board of Chosen Freeholders to several schools across the county, given to create community gardens on school sites to teach children how to grow garden vegetables and herbs. On Friday, I stopped by Emerson Community School and Jefferson School, both in Plainfield, to see our kids in action. At both sites, the kids really "dug in" to this wonderful project. A special thank you also goes to Jackie Park Albaum, the Farm and Garden Director at Groundwork Elizabeth, who provided fun gardening lessons!
