Farming the Land with Seeds of History at Point Breeze

D&R Greenway’s president and CEO Linda Mead invites the public to join Lara to celebrate the newly planted garden and it’s first harvest season on Saturday, October 1.  The inaugural tour will begin at 2:00 pm and will last for an hour as participants learn about the vision and elements of the garden. Led by Mead and gardener Lara Periard, the free event is open to the public with pre-registration available at drgreenway.org or info@drgreenway.org.

Founding Sponsors Announced!

The event serves as the kick-off for Garden to Bistro Month in Bordentown. At the event, Bordentown restaurants participating as Founding Sponsors of the Historic Garden will be recognized.  Throughout the month of October, sponsoring restaurants will receive a harvest bounty of historically-significant produce to be featured on their menu, allowing patrons to enjoy a taste of history.

The intent of the garden is to restore an historic landscape that benefits today’s community.  Just after Labor Day, the first harvest, a crate of summer squash and radishes, was donated to Christ Church in the City of Bordentown to distribute to people in need. Fr. Matt and his wife, Doan Huỳnh Tucker, share, “We’re grateful for the donation of local produce planted and harvested by D&R Greenway Land Trust at the historic vegetable garden at the newly-preserved Point Breeze in Bordentown! The produce will be shared with the community! Thank you!“
