Torches

Writing about adorable home designs and architecture are my favorite pastime. When the day is calm, I usually go driving down streets and see for the new houses and their elegant home exterior and amazing curb appeal. Lately, I was attracted to one house, which is the new subject for my writing, and its beautiful tiki torch. Salute to the makers Buytikitorches.com.

Pacific Ridge School On-Campus Garden

 The organic garden is maintained by students in the AP Environmental Science class through a year-long research project in sustainability, complementing the curriculum.

HomeFront Victory Garden

HomeFront has been established in Mercer County, NJ for 21 years! A few years back, we decided to start a small community garden, outside of our community center, to share the love of gardening with the people of Lawrenceville, NJ.  Fast-foward to 2012, and now the garden has grown tremendously; with plants ranging from summer squash to strawberries and hungarian peppers. Also starting this year, we are using the garden during our Summer Camp to teach the children in our program where their food comes from, healthy and organic eating habits, and composting methods!

Peacock Learning Garden

After several years of discussion and volunteerism with community gardens, we were able to find the means to launch a Learning Garden on site and we completed our first growing season in 2011. It was a resounding success and we are excited about developing further opportunities to integrate the use of the space and create additional opportunities for our students and community.
