ST. BRIGID'S GARDEN Grown in Long Branch, for Long Branch.

Carol Wright at the Jacob Jones 7th Ave. Community Garden, together with Monmouth Medical Center / RWJ Barnabas Health, built a 25' × 50' raised garden for St. Brigid's. It is maintained by Carol Wright and volunteers, and supplements the fresh produce we receive weekly from Fulfill and Interfaith Neighbors.

July through September, Fulfill's Grow-A-Row program adds harvest-driven fresh produce from two Hunterdon County farms.
