All About Waldo Ave Community Garden

Located at the corner of Waldo Ave at Alan Terrace. 

More to come soon (photos etc) but basic back story

When I moved to Jersey City in 2011 I left behind 1 thing that I loved - which was a CSA share.  Basically you pay to get a portion of crops for the year from a local farm.

Once I moved here - I ended up on a community garden tour of Jersey City, and thought it was super cool.

Then when I moved into my hilltop apartment, and got Midnight I kept walking by this lot - It was covered in weeds taller than my head, and people would toss garbage in it.  People had tried for years to get it turned into something but to no avail. 

It took me a year, but I somehow secured the lease from conrail for the garden in 2015.  It took a lot of saying we wouldn't go behind the fence or dig in the ground.  

Today the garden is in its 8th growing season and flourishing.  Pictures etc to come
