Riverside is excited about the upcoming Garden State on Your Plate list – sweet potatoes & strawberries are favorites. An upcoming project with Rutgers: 250 seeds for a statewide Master Gardener trial to determine preferred pruning practices by weighing harvests.

Edible Gardens will again rent Mason Bees again and soon will share last spring’s videos. Has offered STEAM programming to Riverside PreK in coordination with the Science/STEAM teacher, but with less than half the children in school, it’s a challenge. Plans are to continue the after-school garden sessions.
