Pinelands-Friendly Yard & Garden Fair

With vast tracts of unbroken forest, an aquifer system that contains 17-trillion gallons of fresh water, and habitat for rare plants and animals, the million-acre Pinelands area of southern New Jersey is a natural treasure.

People can discover how they can help protect this special region during the second-annual “Pinelands-Friendly Yard & Garden Fair,” which will be held on Saturday, September 12, from 11 a.m.-4 p.m. at the Woodford Cedar Run Wildlife Refuge on 4 Sawmill Road in Medford Township, Burlington County.

The event will feature four nurseries selling native Pinelands plants, as well as live animal demonstrations, plant experts and several presentations, including a talk by Mike McGrath, host of the nationally-syndicated public radio talk show "You Bet Your Garden."
