Krsko and Pearlman were touring the community gardens, a network of public and private gardens people living in the city work together to turn over the dirt, seed, plant and harvest.
Krsko's garden behind his house at 3 Duke St. is home to a few gardeners but is really just his own place to plant and grow.
Krsko and the other gardeners realized this was a problem in New Brunswick when the New Jersey Urban Ecology Program was testing the soil at a community garden on Commercial Avenue.
