We Grew it Here: 100 Years of New Jersey’s Horticultural HistorySat, Apr 611:00 am – 12:00 pmWe Grew it Here: 100 Years of New Jersey’s Horticultural HistoryTheater
The Annual Lewis W. Barton Lecture
The lecture is a gift from the Barton Arboretum and Nature Preserve in honor of Lewis W. Barton.
Think New Jersey only grows tomatoes? Think again. New Jersey was once the pinnacle for peaches, the ultimate for orchids, the tops for turf. 19th century New Jersey plant nurseries led the nation with their innovative breeding, greenhouse, field, and marketing techniques. Meet the horticultural superstars who made New Jersey their home. Impresarios, hermits, academics, politicos and a cast of unlikely characters will make you a believer—New Jersey is the “Garden State.”
Garden historian and writer, Lesley Parness, has worked in public gardens in America and abroad for the past five decades. She is a popular speaker throughout the mid-Atlantic region, offering illustrated lectures and hands-on workshops to garden clubs, historic societies, Master Gardeners, libraries, and institutions with rare books collections of horticultural merit.
Before she retired, Lesley served as Superintendent of Horticultural Education at the Morris County Park Commission, where she oversaw education, programming and interpretation at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum, Willowwood Arboretum, and the Bamboo Brook Outdoor Education Center for fifteen years. Currently, Lesley is a feature columnist for Gardener News Magazine, and contributor to many print and online gardening publications, as well as a Member Emeritus and past President of Garden State Gardens, a non-profit consortium of New Jersey’s public gardens.

Leas Forum: Ain’t I a Woman?Sat, Apr 1311:00 am – 12:00 pmLeas Forum: Ain’t I a Woman?Theater
Born Isabella Baumfree, the slave from a small town north of New York City changed hands several times, sold by one brutal owner to another just as harsh. Her life included repeated beatings, rapes and a forced marriage. In 1826, having been promised freedom, but then cruelly denied emancipation, she left her current owners and found her way to the Van Wageners’ home. There she had an epiphany, became a devout Christian, and renamed herself Sojourner Truth, after which she began her travels as a preacher. In 1850, Sojourner began speaking on women’s suffrage, believing the causes of abolition and women’s rights to be intertwined and equally important. Ms. Truth’s most quoted speech, “Ain’t I a Woman?” was delivered at the Ohio Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio.
Dr. Daisy Century and Ms. Sojourner Truth are both powerful singers and very intelligent women, whether self-taught or academically trained. Almost as impressively tall as the woman she portrays, Century gives a commanding performance of Ms. Truth, bringing to life a woman undeterred by incredible obstacles, a woman who mixed with the leading figures of her day, including Susan B. Anthony, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.

Pathways: Balance and Falls Prevention WorkshopWed, Apr 1710:00 am – 11:00 amPathways: Balance and Falls Prevention WorkshopTheater
Back by Popular Demand!
Each year, millions of older adults—those 65 years and older—fall. Statistics from the government show that more than one out of four older adults fall each year, but the challenge is that less than half report this to their health care provider.
While many falls do not cause injuries, one out of five falls does cause a serious injury such as a broken bone or a head injury. The result of these injuries can make it difficult for one to go about their normal activities. Many people who fall can become afraid of falling. This fear may cause a person to cut down their normal activities, and when a person is less active, they can become weaker and actually increase their chance of falling.
So, what is one to do to manage this challenge of falling?Join in this interactive Falls Prevention and Balance Training Workshop as Ken Roland, Fitness and Aquatics Manager, Medford Leas, reviews the importance of balance training for older adults, in terms of falls prevention.

We Grew it Here: 100 Years of New Jersey’s Horticultural HistorySat, Apr 611:00 am – 12:00 pmWe Grew it Here: 100 Years of New Jersey’s Horticultural HistoryTheater
The Annual Lewis W. Barton Lecture
The lecture is a gift from the Barton Arboretum and Nature Preserve in honor of Lewis W. Barton.
Think New Jersey only grows tomatoes? Think again. New Jersey was once the pinnacle for peaches, the ultimate for orchids, the tops for turf. 19th century New Jersey plant nurseries led the nation with their innovative breeding, greenhouse, field, and marketing techniques. Meet the horticultural superstars who made New Jersey their home. Impresarios, hermits, academics, politicos and a cast of unlikely characters will make you a believer—New Jersey is the “Garden State.”
Garden historian and writer, Lesley Parness, has worked in public gardens in America and abroad for the past five decades. She is a popular speaker throughout the mid-Atlantic region, offering illustrated lectures and hands-on workshops to garden clubs, historic societies, Master Gardeners, libraries, and institutions with rare books collections of horticultural merit.
Before she retired, Lesley served as Superintendent of Horticultural Education at the Morris County Park Commission, where she oversaw education, programming and interpretation at The Frelinghuysen Arboretum, Willowwood Arboretum, and the Bamboo Brook Outdoor Education Center for fifteen years. Currently, Lesley is a feature columnist for Gardener News Magazine, and contributor to many print and online gardening publications, as well as a Member Emeritus and past President of Garden State Gardens, a non-profit consortium of New Jersey’s public gardens.

Leas Forum: Ain’t I a Woman?Sat, Apr 1311:00 am – 12:00 pmLeas Forum: Ain’t I a Woman?Theater
Born Isabella Baumfree, the slave from a small town north of New York City changed hands several times, sold by one brutal owner to another just as harsh. Her life included repeated beatings, rapes and a forced marriage. In 1826, having been promised freedom, but then cruelly denied emancipation, she left her current owners and found her way to the Van Wageners’ home. There she had an epiphany, became a devout Christian, and renamed herself Sojourner Truth, after which she began her travels as a preacher. In 1850, Sojourner began speaking on women’s suffrage, believing the causes of abolition and women’s rights to be intertwined and equally important. Ms. Truth’s most quoted speech, “Ain’t I a Woman?” was delivered at the Ohio Women’s Rights Convention in Akron, Ohio.
Dr. Daisy Century and Ms. Sojourner Truth are both powerful singers and very intelligent women, whether self-taught or academically trained. Almost as impressively tall as the woman she portrays, Century gives a commanding performance of Ms. Truth, bringing to life a woman undeterred by incredible obstacles, a woman who mixed with the leading figures of her day, including Susan B. Anthony, Abraham Lincoln and Ulysses S. Grant.

Pathways: Balance and Falls Prevention WorkshopWed, Apr 1710:00 am – 11:00 amPathways: Balance and Falls Prevention WorkshopTheater
Back by Popular Demand!
Each year, millions of older adults—those 65 years and older—fall. Statistics from the government show that more than one out of four older adults fall each year, but the challenge is that less than half report this to their health care provider.
While many falls do not cause injuries, one out of five falls does cause a serious injury such as a broken bone or a head injury. The result of these injuries can make it difficult for one to go about their normal activities. Many people who fall can become afraid of falling. This fear may cause a person to cut down their normal activities, and when a person is less active, they can become weaker and actually increase their chance of falling.
So, what is one to do to manage this challenge of falling?Join in this interactive Falls Prevention and Balance Training Workshop as Ken Roland, Fitness and Aquatics Manager, Medford Leas, reviews the importance of balance training for older adults, in terms of falls prevention.
