Every spring, Rutgers University’s Master Gardener’s Helpline is flooded with calls from teachers about how to start, maintain or develop a school garden. Hearing this need from the community, Rutgers Cooperative Extension of Essex County has developed a full day of education, brainstorming and networking on Thursday, November 8, during the NJEA Teacher Convention. Professional Development certificates are available upon request.
