Fall Garden Clean-up
The Fall Clean-Up at the Ewing Community Garden would not have been possible without the help of the more than twenty College of New Jersey student volunteers who joined gardeners to clean out compost piles and weed and beautify the community areas of the garden. Teams of students were lead by gardeners, Bob Ellis, Dorothy McMillan, Pat Mulligan, Meg and Stuart Rich, and Karen Serach. Thank you to all the gardeners who worked to clean their plots and get the garden ready for winter.

ECGA Members at the Isles Gardens
Pictures of our recent Isles Tour led by Dave Byers, Green Team member, Master Gardener, retired landscape architect, and Isles volunteer and Jim Simon, Program Manager of Urban Agriculture for Isles. It was eye opening. The gardens were incredible and included well tended plots and lots of art and repurposed materials. It a great day and we came back with lots of ideas and enthusiasm for all that community gardens can be. Take a look at our gallery of photos.
