Master Gardeners help community “go green” for 20th consecutive year







The Rutgers Master Gardeners of Union County will be holding their 20th annual Spring Fair & Plant Sale on Sunday, May 17, from 12:00 to 5:00 PM at Trailside Nature Center in Mountainside.

The Master Gardener Helpliners will answer your gardening questions, and demonstrate gardening and composting methods. There will also be displays on mosquito control, and the beauty of trees.
If you want to learn how to grow a vegetable garden, this is the place to get answers. They will be conducting tours of their Community Sharing Garden, where over 2,000 lbs. of fresh vegetables were grown by volunteers and donated to community food banks and churches last year. Among the wide variety of plants for sale will be the hard-to-find Ramapo tomato, as well as many other vegetables.


Visit their website at http://www.mastergardeners-uc.org/ for more information about the Master Gardener program, or for directions to the garden.
