Events for Fall 2011 at Frelinghuysen Arboretum!
Fri Oct 14
10:00a - 11:30a or
7:00p - 8:30p
Herbal Vinegar Workshop
Capture the essence of summer's herb garden in a trio of herbal vinegars. You will make them in 10 oz. glass bottles with cork tops that can be used again and again. Herbal vinegars are incredibly flavorful and make great gifts for the upcoming holidays. This year, we're using balsamic, red and white vinegars, as well as unusual varieties of thyme, including 'Lime' and 'French Market.' We'll even provide raffia to tie at the bottle's neck and give it that authentic artisanal look. (Register by October 1)
Location: Haggerty Center.
$20.00 Members / $25.00 Non-members
Sat Oct 15
10:00a - 12:30p
New Perennials and Nonstop Gardens with the "Perennial Diva"

Cooking with Quinces Demonstration
Once considered a food of the gods, quince seems to have fallen out of favor as of late. All of our grandmothers knew how to prepare them and they were once readily available. Now, they are not so easy to find but there are still a few growers left in New Jersey. Let's revive this fantastic fruit by learning how to cook them with Chef and Master Gardener Cynthia Triolo. They are so worth it! This cooking demonstration is sponsored by Whole Foods Market in Madison.
Location: Haggerty Center.
$20.00 Members / $25.00 Non-members

Sat Oct 22 10:00a - 6:00p

Morristown Craft Market and Fall Plant Sale
"See You At the Show"
Location: Morristown Armory
This Autumn at the ARTboretum
ARTboretum continues this autumn at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum as the visual arts come out to play for Halloween. Nelson Hancock's exhibit of charmingly evil cucurbits (that's pumpkins of all shapes and sizes) on the slate patio just outside the Haggerty Education Center is both whimsical and fascinatingly scary. Mr. Hancock, who teaches Visual Anthropology and Photography at Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York, has deftly carved a plethora of pumpkin and related gourds to keep our thorny and sharp edged succulents and agaves company through Halloween.
Bring your little trick or treater along in costume any day from Sunday, October 23 through Halloween for some great photo opps, inspiration with your own Jack-O- Lantern carving and a Halloween treat at our Front Desk!
Location: Haggerty Center.
