WEST WINDSOR, NJ — A local native plant and rain garden is getting statewide recognition for its efforts to create a living demonstration space for environmental sustainability.
The West Windsor EcoScape Garden Hub in Community Park has been named a semifinalist in the Sustainable Jersey Success Stories Contest, according to the West Windsor Environmental Commission.
Launched in 2021 with help from local volunteers, the hub demonstrates native plant gardening and green stormwater infrastructure.
It features a native plant pollinator garden, rain garden, Serenity Garden, Little Free Library and Eastern Red Cedar Screen near the Skate Park.
Additional improvements are planned, including another pollinator garden and educational signs about native species and sustainable practices.
The township also shared a video submission created by Meera Shah, an Environmental Commission Green Team member and WW-P High School South student.
