re getting help with the garden, I wonder if this would be a
possibility..
"NEWARK GREEN RANGERS
WHO ARE THE NEWARK GREEN RANGERS?
Rutgers T.E.E.M. Gateway developed the Newark Green Rangers as a
Summer Youth Employment Program in partnership with the City of
Newark.
Youth participants gain exposure to careers in agriculture and
landscaping, environmental arts, entrepreneurship and farmstand
operations, and other “green” fields, with the expertise of the
Rutgers University-New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station and a
number of local partners behind them, all while maintaining an
innovative focus on the urban environment.
The Environmental Arts Team of the Newark Green Rangers created five
city murals during the summer of 2009 in Newark, the first of their
kind, designed and painted by youth with local artists as their
guides.
