TRENTON - A New Jersey historical organization is helping to bring lessons of farming and agriculture to the Garden State's capital.
The Howell Living History Farm has helped turn 70 plots of land in Trenton into city gardens and uses the land to help teach kids about old school agriculture.
The program started over 30 years ago when community organization ISLES of Trenton got permission to turn three Chestnut Street lots into a garden.
Deputy Director of Community Planning Jim Simon said ISLES helps Howell Living History Farm identify suitable city property and helps them organize projects by providing seeds and running soil tests.
