RCE Learning Gardens at Lincoln Park and West Hudson Park

Main Content

The RCE Learning Garden (formerly the 4-H Family Learning Garden) at Lincoln Park in Jersey City is a partnership between Hudson County RCE (Rutgers Cooperative Extension) and the Hudson County Department of Health and Human Services, Division of Children and Youth Services, with support from Hudson County Department of Parks. The RCE Learning Gardens were built in April 2022 and April 2023, and serve as an outdoor classroom, creating educational opportunities for youth, adults, and families to learn gardening skills that they may implement at home and in their communities. In addition to garden programming, our Learning Garden will partner with local community-based groups to provide education on environmental stewardship and nutrition education. The RCE Learning Garden is managed by RCE staff with the support of community volunteers of all ages.
