Freehold's Neighborhood Pride Committee to Host Gardeners' Workshop

The Freehold Borough Neighborhood Pride Committee has announced that it is sponsoring a Gardeners' Workshop for all Freehold Borough gardeners and potential gardeners on Saturday, February 28, at 2:30 p.m. at the YMCA located at the intersection of Center and Jackson Streets.

Bob Mellert, a Monmouth County Master Gardener, will conduct the workshop. Mellert has been gardening for a half century and, thanks to their freezer, he and his wife enjoy eating the produce they grow in their own back yard all year long. "Can you imagine never having to buy another vegetable and having fresh, healthy, 95% organic food available at all times?" asks NPC member Donna Koloski. "Bob will help others get started or improve their own gardens by discussing soil preparation, what, when, and where to plant, and will answer your gardening questions."

Koloski stresses that gardening is not an expensive endeavor and it is rewarding as well as stress relieving. Further benefits include a sense of pride and accomplishment, plus added personalized beauty to a home's landscape. "A lovingly tended garden represents personal artistry, sustenance and life. Neighborhoods with abundant gardens add a sense of wholesome beauty for neighbors and visitors alike," she says.

Koloski adds that the Committee is encouraging all participants to bring non-perishable food items for donation to area food banks. "The Neighborhood Pride Committee was founded on the belief that helping others creates a healthy and positive experience for all of us. We are proud to support our local food banks with our Gardeners' Workshop."

The Gardeners' Workshop is free and registration is not mandatory. Those who do sign up for the workshop will be eligible for door prizes provided by the Freehold Borough Recreation Commission. To register, contact Donna at pd2535k@verizon.net or 732-866-9648.

There are plenty of GOOD LOCAL NEWS STORIES of Freehold, NJ residents and business owners who are making great things happen, locally and around the world.

With so much negativity and bad news on TV, the radio and Internet, I think it's about time we start spreading the GOOD NEWS!

Freehold Borough: A Thriving NJ Community

In the twilight hours of February 2, 2009 a raging conflagration took the life of a beloved 12-year-old girl and displaced her mother and two sisters. All aspects of the community of Freehold Borough immediately began making plans to take care of their own. Within hours, a network of concerned citizens offered the survivors an apartment, rent free. Others began raising money, and still others began to coordinate an item drop off to give them.

Freehold Borough is so much more than homes and businesses, it is a true "community" where neighbors help one another, protect one another and share freely. Freehold Borough is a model for small town values and qualities.

In a region of suburban sprawl and McMansions, people can come to Freehold and find a true sense of community. The people of Freehold have tremendous pride in their town and are often heard saying that they have "Colonial Blue" running through their veins, a reference to the high school sports teams that have had a great run of winning seasons in recent years.
