🍎 Apple crisp
🥕 Carrot cake

Every one begins with someone planting a seed and waiting for it to grow. 💚 What’s your favorite dessert that started as produce? Tell us in the comments! 👇

🌱 Huge shoutout and heartfelt thank you to the incredible team from Huber+Suhner! 💚

On Friday, a mighty crew of five volunteers joined us at the Giving Garden and generously donated four hours each of hard work to help get our grounds ready for the season ahead! 🎃✨

Thanks to their hard work, our pumpkin patch is in tip-top shape and ready for next week’s special event hosting local special education students! Beyond prepping the patch, this hardworking crew weeded the bitter melon and collard greens, harvested fresh tomatoes and beans, and helped clear out dying vines to guide our garden toward a successful end-of-season closeout.

As if their hands-on work wasn't enough, Huber+Suhner also blessed us with a generous monetary donation! 🎁 We are beyond grateful for your time, energy, and community spirit—we couldn't do what we do without support like yours!

Thank you for growing with us and helping us nourish our community! 🥕🌻🙌

🔭 Flashback Friday to one of our favorite nights of the year! ✨

On September 18th, 22 astronomers from the NJ Astronomical Association brought the universe to our backyard and 500 people showed up to look up. 🌕🪐

As part of NASA's International Observe the Moon Night, guests got guided tours of the Moon, Saturn, and deep sky objects through everything from binoculars to a massive 17" telescope. NASA stickers, giveaways, and pure cosmic wonder included. 🚀

This was our third large-scale astronomy event at Wagner Farm and we can't wait to do it again. 💚

Thank you to Bill Funcheon, Paul Cirillo, and every astronomer who donated their time and knowledge to make the night magical. 🌟

📚 Did you know we have a Little Free Library?

One for the grown-ups. One for the little ones. Both always stocked and always free. 🌸📖

Stop by, take a book, leave a book - it's that simple. Our library is always being refreshed, so there's always something new waiting for you.

Because a love of reading and a love of nature go hand in hand. 💚

🌱 "To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow." Audrey Hepburn

There's something quietly powerful about that. Every seed we tuck into the ground, every bed we prep, every volunteer who shows up on a Saturday morning, it's all an act of hope. 💚

That's what we do here at Wagner Farm Arboretum. Every single day.
