Horticulture 2022-23

Offered By The Frelinghuysen Arboretum

The majestic 127.48 acres of The Frelinghuysen Arboretum offer a serene place to relax, as well as to learn, explore, and celebrate. Surrounding a magnificent Colonial Revival mansion, the woodlands, meadows, gardens, and distinctive collections of trees and shrubs provide an ideal setting for leisurely enjoyment, as well as provide educational and scientific exploration.

We will be offering to students the Horticulture Holiday Workshops throughout the year. These workshops will include a short horticulture lesson on a relevant topic as well as an activity that each student can take home to share with their family and friends.
