Next Wednesday July 20 please join us to take over the Northgate Park in Camden, NJ with nearly 2,000 native plants. These plants were selected by students from Molina School and Senior Citizens from Respond for their beauty, attracting butterflies, and cut flower potential. This program is the first of its kind through Rutgers new Art Garden program. I've been paired with a phenomenal mural artist, and we're going to cover this park with color while reclaiming this entire city block growing beauty and healthy communities in Camden. Native plants our from our area, don't need as much water once they are established, and attract local birds and insects. ....
This project in addition to our involvement with the Camden SMART initiative has led to the establishment of the Camden Native Plant Nursery. Check it out <http://camdencenterfortran
