Fit For Gardening - Garden Fitness Program

Friday, May 17 - 10:00 AM

In person at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum

THERE ARE ONLY A COUPLE OF SEATS LEFT FOR THIS PROGRAM. DON'T MISS OUT!

This program is eligible for 1.0 Rutgers Master Gardener CEU

With warm weather comes a return to longer days and lots of garden activity, along with aching feet, hips and backs. Digging holes, weeding beds, dividing perennials, mulching and moving pots around can take its toll on bodies of any age!

Dr. David Mueller (Podiatry) and Dr. Andrew Marques (Physical Therapy) will be on hand Friday, May 17th to talk about how to remain injury free and vigorous in the garden. They will discuss how to strengthen the lower parts of your musculoskeletal system as well as some of the most common problems that they see in gardeners. Space is limited so grab a spot while you can.

Botanic Gardens from Coast to Coast and What We Can Learn from Them with Sue Acheson

Wednesday, June 5 - 7:00 PM

Sue Acheson - Botanic Gardens

VIRTUAL VIA ZOOM

Join intrepid garden traveler, obsessive gardener and past Friends President, Sue Acheson, as she takes us on a Zoom tour of "Botanic Gardens from Coast to Coast." Sue will show seven public gardens from California, Colorado, Missouri, Pennsylvania and North Carolina, in all seasons and in a broad range of climate zones.

With inspiring, beautiful photographs from each, Sue will show what we can learn from each of these gardens to raise our home gardens to the next level.

All of these gardens are Sue's favorites, along with many others she will save for another day.
