Mr. Mulligan and a few of his students have completed the New Jersey Farm to School Garden.
There are over three hundred various plants and herbs which have been planted. A fence and sprinkling system have been installed. Mr. Mulligan stated that a maintanence schedule is being planned. The sprinkler is usually on for an hour, so the water can reach the roots of the plants.
With the arrival of summer, the garden should yield various types of tomatoes, eggplants, hot peppers, cucumbers, red onions, cabbage, and summer squash. Thanks to all the volunteers who helped out this past Saturday, May 26. The garden has been planted with a lot of time and effort, PC hopes to have a healthy harvest.
Any and all volunteers are greatly appreciated. Please, contact Mr. Mulligan for details at jmulligan@paramus-catholic.org or stop by classroom #136.
