UPCOMING PROGRAMMING

For the next several weeks, we are taking a break from programming. However, we are hard at work preparing the next issue of Arboretum Leaves, our quarterly newsletter. We'll be offering a variety of programs, including a Members Only New Year party, our annual Blackburn Scholarship lecture featuring Marta McDowell speaking about her new book, a bus trip to the Philadelphia Flower Show, and, of course, the annual Community Garden Conference!

If you are not currently a Member of the Friends of The Frelinghuysen Arboretum, now is a great time to become one. Or, you might consider giving a friend or family member a membership as a holiday gift. Check out the options on our website's Membership page.

AT THE FRELINGHUYSEN ARBORETUM

We are still enjoying some beautiful fall weather and lovely foliage colors. A gorgeous, golden leafed Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum cv. 'Sango Kaku') makes quite a statement up against the clear blue November sky. Another Japanese Maple (Acer palmatum var. dissectum cv. 'Ever Red', presents its red, lacy foliage like a waterfall close to the small pond in front of Matilda's cottage. The male cones of the Dawn Redwood tree (Metasequoia glyptostroboides) by the Marsh Meadow deck look stunning against the reddish brown fall color of the deciduous needles.
