Family Photo Scavenger Hunt: June Bugs
June1- 30
Gardens go crazy in summer, and the plants grow as tall and as fast and as lush as they can before fall is upon them (and us). How do they do this? For many, it is with the help of our six and eight-legged friends. Bugs, insects, creepy-crawlies — whatever you call them — are nothing to be afraid of. Remember, you are huge, and they are small so grab a camera and search them out.
For all ages, cost: $10 per family or group of six.
Where: Frelinghuysen Arboretum, 353 East Hanover Avenue, Morristown, NJ 07960
