The bookmarks will be on display in the front lobby of the North Brunswick Municipal Building at 710 Hermann Road. In addition, the top three winners – Anika Batki, Selma Elbenni and Sydney Faccone – will have their designs turned into plastic bookmarks that will be handed out at events throughout the year.

“Look at all these smiling faces. It’s beautiful,” said Richard Fein of the North Brunswick Open Space Committee.

“They all worked very hard. It’s all very beautiful,” Councilwoman Shanti Narra said.

On a related topic, because several students decided to focus on gardening, Narra took the opportunity to remind residents that the North Brunswick Community Garden is now open at the Pulda Farm off of Route 130. Plots are still available for residents to plant herbs, vegetables and flowers.

For an application for a garden spot, call 732-247-0922, ext. 475.
