The GreenQuest Nature Club’s lesson on flowers is going to be fun! Students in grades 2 through 6 will learn about New Jersey’s native flower species and how flowers benefit us and the natural world. They will also get to take a tour of the arboretum and investigate the flowers that are in bloom. The program will be held on Wednesday, May 29 from 5 pm to 6:30 pm at the Knippenberg Center for Education at Laurelwood Arboretum, 725 Pines Lake Drive in Wayne. Registration is now open at www.laurelwoodarboretum.org and is limited to 20 students. Admission is $3.00, and proceeds will go towards the GreenQuest Program.

He led the GreenQuest Nature Club at the Wayne Public Library and Laurelwood Arboretum in 2022 and 2023. Aadhith will be studying environmental engineering at college in the Fall.
