New garden

Washington Township’s community garden was recently relocated and completed on Mother’s Day with twenty-eight (28) garden plots. This is your opportunity, whether a novice or accomplished gardener to grow your own vegetables, fruits or flowers. The plots are 10’ x 10’ with water on site. The garden is located close to the Greentree Road entrance to Washington Lake Park.

If you desire to see if you have a green thumb, wish to reduce your grocery bills or just have loads of flowers in your home, consider applying for a garden plot.

For additional information, you can contact the Parks and Recreation Department at 856-589-3227 or can email Denise Kowalski at dkowalski@twp.washington.nj.us.
