Growing in the Garden – June Programs –
“How Grow Your Tomatoes?”
Macculloch Hall Historical Museum presents its hands-on program for preschool-age children “Growing in the Garden” this June. This program meets twice a month, to visit the garden at Macculloch Hall and explore environmental topics through a story, walk in the garden and art projects.
“How Grow Your Tomatoes?” takes place on Tuesday, June 18th. Children will find out what grew in the vegetable garden at Macculloch Hall when the Macculloch family lived there. George Macculloch was an early leader of the New Jersey Agricultural Society and grew the first documented tomato in New Jersey, in 1829. Children will plant their own tomato plant to take home after hearing a story and visiting the garden.
The “Growing in the Garden” programs take place from 1:15pm – 2pm.
There are limited spaces, pre- registration is required. The cost of the program is $8 per (child and caregiver) for Museum members and $12 per pair for non-members. Call (973) 538-2404 ext. 16 or email cwinslow@maccullochhall.org to pre-register.
