Less than a year after moving into the Havemeyer House in 2005, Dr. Jacqueline Ehlert-Mercer and her husband Ramapo College President, Dr. Peter P. Mercer established the Edible Garden in the spring of 2006.<\/p>\n
Modeled after the great Victory gardens of 1917, the Havemeyer Edible Garden & Bee Hives serve as a classroom where individuals and students learn and experience food sustainability and nutrition. Growing in the garden are a wide variety of hybrid tomatoes, eggplant, zucchini, carrots, green and red peppers, cucumbers, beans, radishes, onions, strawberries, apples, blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, cherries, apricots, peaches, plums and a broad array of fresh herbs.<\/p>\n
Each year, area k-12 school children, college students and individuals visit the Garden to participate in an array of programs and events.<\/a> The Havemeyer Edible Garden is entirely funded through donations and entirely run by volunteers. We look forward to welcoming you to Get Involved<\/a>.<\/p>\n Dr. Ehlert-Mercer<\/strong> uses a theory based nutrition curriculum which she developed.\u00a0Her research focuses on the eating behaviors of college and university students.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_3″ _builder_version=”3.25″ custom_padding=”|||” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.ramapo.edu\/garden\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/332\/2019\/09\/Edible-Gardens-Bee-Hives-5.jpg” module_class=”hex” _builder_version=”3.26.3″ border_radii=”on|26px|26px|26px|26px” box_shadow_style=”preset4″ box_shadow_color=”rgba(248,186,20,0.59)”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our HistoryLess than a year after moving into the Havemeyer House in 2005, Dr. Jacqueline Ehlert-Mercer and her husband Ramapo College President, Dr. Peter P.
