Garden artist in residence

Dorothy Mullen, co-founder of the Princeton School Gardens Cooperative, was named “garden artist in residence” at Riverside School.  Her new program “Healthy Children, Healthy Planet” represents a policy shift in school garden participation at Riverside. For the first time since she started the program in 2001, every child in the school pre-K to 5 will participate in six to 12 classes per year (and more for the younger children).  She’ll be training Master Gardeners and community volunteers who want to learn gardening in the school setting.  Teacher workshops, garden lessons and free tours will resume in March.  Call Dorothy to schedule: (609) 683-8309.
