Newark Science & Sustainability

[Tobias Fox]

Peace.

Hope all is well and I do apologize for being rather quiet. Nonetheless, I appreciate the valuable information that is still being shared here in our Google group. 

What's Going On

I've been very busy with developing youth educational programs and building relationships with local restaurant and mini-market owners. I may even be taking on some small landscaping projects in the very near future as a means to help generate some revenue. But as always, I will keep you all updated on my progress. My personal goal is not only to develop and implement educational programs in our school systems around wellness & nutrition education, urban agriculture, ecological building, and clean renewable energy, but also help bring about a local green economy. I'm always looking to collaborate with others. 

Getting Down and Dirty

I've returned my attention to The People's Garden (86 Garside Street, Newark, NJ). I plan to get another banner printed and posted on the fence in the next two weeks. I would love to see more artwork posted on the fence. If there are any artist willing to help out with that please feel free to express yourself. :-)

We currently have growing a variety of herbs, lettuce, green peas, sweet corn, broccoli, onions, carrots, and a variety of peppers and tomatoes. Salsa anyone? :-) Along the fence in the front are a variety of flowers, but mostly sunflowers. 

Technical Difficulties

Unfortunately, we no longer have a blog to share info and pics, but I'm certain a solution is nearby. If anyone would like to assist with setting up a new blog so we can reconnect with the international community please feel free to step up. In the meantime, I'll be adding new pics to our Facebook page. By the way, I've attached our new logo.

Helping Hands

Much love and appreciation goes out to Chuck and Cass for stepping up and helping out at The People's Garden. Cass put her radical gardening expertise to work and Chuck was the muscle I've been needing for a while. They've created new pathways and began spreading out a new layer of wood chips. 

We can definitely use some more brown cardboard. We use brown cardboard as a means to temporarily stop weeds from taking over. It will take a full year before having to place cardboard down again. If you can help us get more brown cardboard to the garden I'd greatly appreciate it. Brown cardboard is a biodegradable carbon, and plants love carbon. 

Let's continue moving onward and upward......

Peace Monica. 

I and others will be working at the garden on Saturday from about 10am to about 3pm, and Sunday from about 10am to about 3pm. I'm just a bike ride away so I'll definitely be there those two days between the times I stated. You can also hit me up on your cell when you heading to Newark. Hope to see you over the weekend.
