The Community Garden Project at the Wagner Farm Arboretum in Warren Township had a highly successful start-up in 2007. Area residents are again invited to register for the community gardening plots at 197 Mountain Ave in Warren. The 10 by 20 foot plots are in full sun and are protected by deer, groundhog and rabbit fencing, water, wheelbarrows, a shady gazebo and port-o-john are provided to maximize your experience. The plots may be used for seasonal and perennial plantings. They rent for an annual fee of $50.00, plus membership.

"Organic methods are used in the project," said Keith Cooper, Berkeley Heights resident and chairman of the Community Garden Committee. "Our goal was to have productive and attractive gardens," he said, "and this we did on protected sites in full sun.
