Herbs galore! Chickens, with a great nursery for pollinators. We love this garden

Started by the local Girl Scout troop, this is now a community volunteer project that grows food for the food pantry at Holy Name Church.

We planted: Chasmanthium latifolium Erythronium americanum Heliopsis helianthoides Mertensia virginica Opuntia humifusa Polemonium reptans Zizia aurea

We are a volunteer run community garden in the Bronx. We planted Rose Mallow, Zizia, Sea Oats, Blue Bells all in the new tree pit beds that we just built.  We chose to put the native plants there because we think they will thrive in the soil conditions and because they will all bloom at different times. With these native plants, plus extra Iris bulbs, we think that the tree pits will be beautiful year round.  Our goal is to have perennials in the treepits as well as in the flower pots outside the garden, so that when the neighbors pass through on the sidewalk in front of our garden, they are surrounded with plants year round.

This is the Nutley's only community garden. Yes, it's in New Jersey! Find out more at facebook.com/nutleycommunitygarden/
