Horticultural Society of South Jersey presents Bruce Crawford, Director of Rutgers Gardens. Typically, we only focus on the sense of sight when designing a garden. However, in order to make a garden as “complete” of an experience as possible, elements that stimulate the remaining four senses need to be incorporated. Plants for Sensory Stimulation looks at a number of those plants that impact the senses beyond sight and how best they can be incorporated into the garden! Free and open to the public. For more information, check the website: www.hssj.org or call 856-287-5959. Facebook event: https://www.facebook.com/events/209294506649945/
