Scented Sugar

Make some scented sugar this Saturday morning at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum!

Just bring yourself and an 4-8 ounce glass jar with a wide mouth and a cover. We'll meet at 10:30am at the Scherer Garden and spend about 30 minutes together. We'll bring the sugar and scented geraniums - such as rose, nutmeg, citrus & apple.

Scented sugars are great for baking and adding to herbal teas - what a neat gift! It's free, and no registration is needed. Hope to see you there!

What to Do Sunday?

Looking for something to do with the kids on Sunday afternoon? Here are two suggestions:

1. Family Photo Scavenger Hunt
2. Exhibit of Fairy Houses on Sylvan Terrace
