2nd Annual Newark Grows School Gardens Tour

The 2nd Annual Newark Grows School Gardens Tour on Friday, June 13th invites schools to show off their garden programs and share information and best practices while building connections with other school garden advocates and supporters.

As the Newark Network of School Gardens continues to grow, we want to ensure school garden programs are collaborating and learning from each other’s successes and failures as we all strive to build a greener, healthier Newark. The tour will serve as an opportunity to see how other schools are running their school garden programs to inspire others. Whether it’s seeing a successful drip-irrigation system or educators working with students of all abilities in the garden, all schools have something special to share!

We already have a range of elementary and high schools participating including Lincoln Elementary School, West Side High School, Harriet Tubman Elementary School and Weequahic High School!
