Township of Union Community Garden

Directions

Township of Union Community Garden Located at Eleanor R. Erickson Park on Liberty Avenue in Union NJ. The entrance is directly across from Bancroft Ave. Want to grow your own food?

Contact us to be added to our waitlist for a Garden Bed in 2027. [email protected] The Township of Union Organic Garden has been established for the purpose of giving all Union residents access to vegetable or flower gardening. Beds are available for leasing to Union residents for $35 a season. We also always welcome volunteers, even if they are not leasing a bed. Youth groups looking for educational experiences are also welcome. Basically, *anyone* interested in the garden, in whatever capacity, please contact us. We'd love to hear from you!
