The Plainfield Garden Club opened the Shakespeare Garden this week, with weeding and cleanup on Wednesday and Saturday.

The Shakespeare Garden contains plants mentioned in The Bard's works. There are other such gardens in many locations, including Central Park, San Francisco and Melbourne, Australia.across the world. The Plainfield Garden Club welcomes visitors especially at the peak of the blooming season in June, and the event on June 6 will also celebrate the club's centennial.
As part of the Union County park system, Cedar Brook Park is open dawn to dusk and the garden may be enjoyed any time during those hours. It is a great place to take visitors who want to learn more about Plainfield's attractions.
Near the garden is another point of interest, a cricket pitch.
