Garden and apiary are not open to the public; they are only open to volunteers and during events.
Welcome to our garden! The 4-H YUFC (Youth Urban Farming Club) has served the Youth of Hudson County every summer since 2016. We teach young gardeners through weekly lessons, observations, planting/growing pollinator plants, as well as nutrition. We hope to both inspire and teach the next generation how to lead sustainable and environmentally conscience lives. Youth ages 12 through 18 are welcome to join us!
Our Apiary started in 2022, with just two flow hives and a package of bees. It has now grown to 4 colonies of honeybees that help pollinate our cemetery grounds. Our beekeepers Simran Nazareth and Roger Moss tend to the hives frequently and encourage any interested volunteers to reach out! As a volunteer-run nonprofit organization, we need your help keeping the green spaces in Jersey City alive! One of our future goals for our cemetery garden is to involve the community in beekeeping and gardening workshops. We also offer the chance to sponsor a hive.
