Volunteers Help Clean Up Sensory Garden

Members of Friends of Laurelwood Arboretum (FOLA) worked on the arboretum’s sensory garden recently. The garden is designed so people can experience plants and flowers with various smells and textures. It also provides physically handicapped attendees a chance to enjoy nature in a unique way. The plants lend themselves well to either being touched, smelled, or even plucked and eaten.

FOLA volunteers work at the 30-acre arboretum Tuesday mornings and the first Saturday of the month.

Laurelwood Arboretum is operated by volunteers. It features a wide variety of bushes, trees, shrubs, flowers, insects, and wildlife. 

For more information, visit the arboretum’s website or call 973-302-9579.
