“Newark’s Harvest” is coming to town as part of the city’s Newark Celebration 350 schedule of events. The series of events will take place from August 15th through the 20th of this year, and is a collaboration between Newark Science and Sustainability, Inc. and more than a dozen gardens and urban farms across the city.

The events will consist of a historical garden tour and a present-day harvest, and is meant to provide residents and visitors an opportunity to become informed about the city’s various agricultural spaces. It will also push themes of healthy eating, healthy living practices, and environmental education, according to organizers.

“Through a series of workshops, presentations, and by reaping the benefits from the harvests of each of the participating spaces, residents will walk away with healthy, locally-grown produce and a broader awareness of environmental stewardship,” read a statement announcing the event.
