Edible Gardens at Princeton Middle School (formerly John Witherspoon Middle School) were restored and enlarged in 2019, under the direction of Steven Schultz, who donated labor and and coordination as owner of Bountiful Boxes, a raised garden box business in Princeton. The Edible Gardens are used by students in the Food Science course, by students in the PUMS Cooks+Gardens program, and have been used by Princeton University students enrolled in the Science, Society & Dinner course hosted by PUMS in its Teaching Kitchens.
