Tinton Falls Community Garden Meeting

The Community Gardens group was established in 2009 as a sub-committee of the Environmental Commission.  Along with their many green ideas, one of which was to start a community garden whereby residents can join in a positive environmental activity while getting to know their fellow residents.  The first community garden was launched at the Historic Crawford House property.  The community gardeners were assisted by the Monmouth County Master Gardeners who were of great help in providing information about designing a community garden along with the experience of planting and growing vegetables.  The Historic Preservation Commission members see the many benefits of having the community garden at the Crawford House.  Not only could the produce be grown there but also sold there with the help of volunteers to support a farm stand.  Working with Environmental Commission, the Historic Preservation Commission established the first community garden at the ribbon-cutting ceremony on May 2, 2009

To join:  Before the beginning of the growning season, residents can fill out an application to plant in an assigned plot of the garden. The designated coordinator for the Crawford House Community Garden is Teresa Maltz.   If you would like to plant and/or volunteer to work at the Crawford House Community Garden, please contact Teresa.  The Community Gardens group meet every third Wednesday of the month at 7:00 pm in the Borough Hall Bsmt.
