The Garden Club of New Jersey & Liberty State Park, Perfect Together
- The Garden Club of New Jersey, Inc. is proud to announce that we have unanimously voted to join the Coalition to Pass the Liberty State Park Protection Act and Save the Park’s Caven Point Natural Area.
- Please write, email, and/or phone your local legislators to support this critically important legislation: Senate Bill S1449 and Assembly Bill A2189. Please go to Environment, the circle to the right on our Home Page to find details and links to the petition & state legislature.
- The GCNJ is working with Liberty State Park, the NJDEP and NJDOT in establishing a Blue Star Memorial at LSP in 2021. Please read the November, 2019 issue of Gardener News under Publications on our website for this back issue with front page History of the Blue Star.
- The Garden Club of New Jersey, Inc. will embark on a project entitled ‘Freedom Trail of Great Americans’ that will showcase our nation’s great Americans for New Jersey, our nation and for the world to view at Liberty State Park, New Jersey’s gift to the nation. We look forward to working with the NJDEP and other groups to make this a reality.
- My GCNJ President’s Theme: Paths to Discovery Through Outdoor Learning Centers we hope will have its debut at Liberty State Park with a Pollinator Learning Center. By establishing this initial Learning Center, we wish to inspire many more Learning Centers entertaining and educating the public about conservation, the environment and wildlife with these interactive displays. Full speed ahead as we invite everyone to participate in the design and execution and make this a reality. View Liberty State Park - Caven Point Video Jeannie Geremia, GCNJ President
