Directs Dept. of Agriculture to establish "Urban Gardening Pilot Program"; appropriates $100,000.

This New Jersey bill establishes a three-year "Urban Gardening Pilot Program" administered by the Department of Agriculture, appropriating $100,000 to fund up to three urban gardening projects in low-income neighborhoods. The program provides grants of up to $35,000 each to qualified municipalities or nonprofits for creating community gardens in areas with high poverty rates (20%+ poverty or below 80% median income), requiring applicants to partner with agricultural experts to teach residents about growing food. Projects must aim to improve neighborhood conditions and foster community integration across diverse groups, with the department reporting on outcomes to the legislature after three years. The bill expires upon submission of this evaluation report.
