Tuesday April 4, 2023
9:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Since 1981, Isles Garden Support Network has been helping community and school gardens grow in Trenton. Once again this spring, Isles invites you to experience farming the old-fashioned way! On Tuesday, April 5, 2022, a team of horses and staff from Howell Living History Farm will plow the community garden at 81 Chestnut Avenue (between Walnut Ave. and Greenwood Ave.) from 9:00 am to 3:00 pm. Rain date will be either Wednesday, April 5 or Thursday, April 6, depending on conditions.

The Chestnut Avenue Garden is the largest and oldest of more than 70 community and school gardens in Trenton, and it has hosted Howell Living History Farm plow teams for the majority of the 30 years that the event has been happening.

This event is free and open to the public. For more info, including how to join a community garden, please call 609-341-4724.
