Church & Dwight Employees Donate $10K to Elm Court/Harriet Bryan House Garden

Employees of Church & Dwight have donated $10,000 to the Community Garden of Harriet Bryan House and Elm Court.

The money will be used for enhancements to the garden: extending the patio area to create shading, establishing uniform ground plots and installing wheelchair accessible table top planters.

Elm Court and Harriet Bryan House are affordable housing communities and affiliates of Princeton Community Housing. Both communities provide rental housing to those 62 and older while Elm Court also provides housing for mobility impaired persons.  

The Community Garden was established in 2009 to provide residents with their own garden to plant vegetables and flowers. For the past two years, elementary aged students from the Johnson Park School have participated in an intergenerational gardening program where they plant alongside residents in shared garden plots.

Ed Truscelli, Executive Director of Princeton Community Housing, is delighted to be able to move forward on enhancements to the garden. “Like Church & Dwight, we strive to be creative and innovative and think in terms of possibilities, not limitations.  This grant will enable us to expand the benefits of gardening to more of our residents and provide greater opportunity for intergenerational and community wide programming at the Community Garden.”
