Nov. 6, 20242024 TREE SYMPOSIUM RECAPThis year's Tree Symposium was a huge success, thanks in great part to our excellent speakers and their topics, and also to the Friends' group of dedicated volunteers who kept things running smoothly in the background. The whimsical table centerpieces created by Marge Hulstrunk were raffled off at the end of the day, and nine lucky winners went home with a unique work of art! Marge also created the lovely arrangement that graced the food table. Click on the photos below to view them in our site's gallery. A bountiful breakfast and delicious lunch sandwiches were enjoyed by our attendees, speakers and volunteers, adding to their enjoyment of the day. Thanks to all who chose to spend a Saturday with the Friends, either as speakers, attendees or volunteers! We greatly appreciate your support.

AT THE FRELINGHUYSEN ARBORETUMThe warm weather extending into November is making it possible for plants to continue blooming in the Arboretum's gardens. A lovely Rosa 'The Poet's Wife' is showing off in the Heritage Rose Garden and a bright orange Eschscholzia californica "Apricot Chiffon' (California Poppy) is doing her thing in the Gravel Garden. Meanwhile, the warm days and cool nights are contributing to foggy mornings on the Great Lawn in front of the Mansion. Visit soon and see what treasures you can find! Thanks to Kristin Prommel, Superintendent of Horticulture, Morris County Park Commission for these lovely shots.
