About the Program: 

Through the Living Laboratory program Greater Newark Conservancy has brought Newark Public School children outdoors to explore nature. ThisĀ garden is becoming a diverse and vital resource for the entire school community. Children are not simply observers of nature but active stewards both benefactors and beneficiaries of the produce of the garden. Cultivating the garden gives students a direct connection to where food comes from.
