Caldwell Pollinator Gardens Blooming On Personette Street

CALDWELL, NJ — When residents and visitors to Caldwell walk down Personette Street this summer, they are getting a glimpse into an essential natural processes for organic life: pollination.

Since the borough purchased open space in the area, local environmentalists, community gardeners and nearby college students have been turning Personette Street into a bountiful oasis of pollinator gardens and native trees.

Members of the Caldwell Environmental Commission recently took a moment to welcome a new sign to the street, which was paid for by a grant from the Association of NJ Environmental Commissions (ANJEC).

“It represents the kinds of pollinators that are visiting the garden on Personette Street,” Caldwell town officials wrote of the new sign. “All the plants are chemical-free.”
