This is our sixth year at the beautiful Wallisch garden and there are so many fun and friendly gardeners to learn and grow with. Perhaps you would like to join us this year? We are expanding and making more plots available so let us know if you are interested!
We wish the gardens to be fun, creative, uplifting, a place where people meet, get to know one another in the course of fruitful work, learn together, provide a plenteous harvest of delicious, healthy food, and benefit the community by sharing this harvest and holding public education events like lectures on gardening and food subjects, and garden and farm tours. To date, hundreds of people have learned in the garden and applied their learning with their own gardens at home. Each year more than forty members come together at Apple Acres, and now nearly as many at Wallisch, to become a supportive, sharing, learning community. We look forward to continuing and expanding upon this heritage. We’re having a great season growing food together and sharing our boon with the community.
For more information, or to get on the waiting list for existing or new plots, please contact Katie at katiep8@verizon.net
Both gardens benefit from the Passaic County Freeholders’ Dig In! community garden grant program.
