Hike for children at Botanical Gardens

Ringwood — As part of its Garden Saturday series, New Jersey Botanical Gardens will sponsor a Kids Hike at the New Jersey State Botanical Garden, on Saturday, Sept. 19, at 10 a.m. A $3 donation is requested. NJBG/Skylands is located on Morris Road in Ringwood, New Jersey. Join NJBG’s Nancy Cochrane and Rich Cahayla-Wynne for a morning of great fun for children ages 6 and up. Children must be accompanied by a responsible adult. The program will begin with a short presentation on what to do if you get lost in the woods, followed by an easy hike through the woods around the Botanical Garden. The walk will include charming trails and steppingstone bridges, and hikers will explore some of the rocks and plants that call the Botanical Garden home. Participants should wear comfortable shoes and meet at the Carriage House Visitor Center. In the event of rain, the program will be canceled.
