Gran Fondo and Grow it Green Info Session

Grow it Green Morristown, a local non-profit working toward being a catalyst for positive change in the Greater Morristown community is proud to partner with Gran Fondo NJ and Marty’s Reliable Cycle for the First Annual Gran Fondo NJ.  The Gran Fondo is an exciting mass bicycle ride through some of New Jersey’s most beautifully countryside.  Comparable to the great European tour mountain climbs, “The Fondo” will have timed hill climbs and a carnival-like culture with cheering fans and pageantry!

Grow it Green Morristown, creators of the Early Street Community Garden and the Urban Farm at Lafayette, are working with Gran Fondo NJ to raise funds to support an additional, new community garden in the Town of Morristown.  “With over 25 families on our waiting list and a very low turnover rate for a plot at the Early Street Community Garden, people really want to see the expansion of community gardens in our Town.  Riders supporting us at the Grand Fondo will help make this new garden happen” said Samantha Rothman, co-founder of Grow it Green Morristown.  

Join Grow it Green Morristown at Marty’s Reliable Cycle of Morristown on Thursday, August 4th at 6:30 pm to find out more about Gran Fondo NJ and Grow it Green Morristown.  The evening will feature light refreshments made by the Artist Baker of Morristown, using local produce from Grow it Green Morristown’s Urban Farm at Lafayette.  Additionally, if cyclists register for the Gran Fondo NJ at the event, 20% of their registration fee will be donated directly to Grow it Green to help support the establishment of a new community garden in Morristown.
