2023 Community Garden Program Begins In East Windsor

EAST WINDSOR, NJ — The township recently kicked off the 2023 Community Garden at Disbrow Hill Park adjacent to the Disbrow Hill playing fields and across from Etra Lake Park.

Launched in 2016, the community garden has 20 plots and provides residents with an opportunity to rent a plot of land to plant fruits, vegetables, herbs and flowers. This also provides an outdoor activity for families and individuals.

At the community gardens, residents also share learn and share knowledge on gardening, nature and cooking, helping residents from diverse backgrounds to come together.

“We are excited to launch a new year of our successful community garden, another initiative in our Township’s commitment to green sustainable efforts," Mayor Janice Mironov said.

The Community Garden is part of East Windsor’s sustainable initiatives. The Township achieved Sustainable Jersey Silver Level Certification in 2015, 2018 and again in 2021 for a host of green initiatives including the creation of a Green Team, community outreach programs, municipal on-site solar system, farmland preservation plans, sustainable land use pledge, open space preservation, and environmental assessment ordinance.
