Chrystine Gaffney, a Verona resident who volunteers with the Rutgers 4-H program, has let us know that there are two free workshops coming up that can help people build healthier communities.
The “Gardening and Healthy Communities” workshops will be this Saturday, March 3 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Essex County Environmental Center, 621B Eagle Rock Avenue, Roseland, or Wednesday, March 14 from 6 to 9 p.m. at St. Joe’s Plaza – New Community Corporation, 233 West Market Street, in Newark.
The workshops are presented by Rutgers 4-H, the American Heart Association and the American Stroke Association, and will include curriculum books, activity kits, hand-outs and program planning guides. There will be a light meal-time brainstorming session, with time to troubleshoot, ask questions and network.
