No April showers in sight at the moment, so come to the Frelinghuysen Arboretum for some of our wonderful programs:Eco-Friendly Lawn Care for HomeownersI love my landscaper, but when he suggested his usual round of chemicals for my lawn this spring, I said, “How about you come to a class, Eco-Friendly Lawn Care on Thursday, April 12.” How about the guys who tend your lawn? Do they need a refresher course in the new laws and the new products out there for keeping your lawn and the planet GREEN? Register now! Must Have Plants for Every GardenWhat’s new and exciting in the plant world? Come to the FREE talk this Saturday at 10 to hear Plant Sale Chair Sue Acheson speak on “Must Have Plants for Every Garden.” and even pre-order from a list of 15 Featured Plants available at the talk.  Spring Pruning WorkshopBEFORE you get out your clippers, take a walk with Plantsman Scott Scarafile. His “Pruning Workshop” on Monday, April 23 at 12:30pm, will help you get your tools in shape and give you a chance to make some cuts here at The Frelinghuysen. Register for any of these online at our website or by calling 973-326-7603.VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!Our Volunteer Coordinator, Marge Hulstrunk, writes that she would love to hear from you if you are willing to help out at this year's Plant Sale.
