Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival
Montgomery Township Municipal Building 100 Community Drive, SkillmanCelebrate the Chinese Mid-Autumn Festival at Montgomery’s Farmers Market. We invite you to paint Chinese lanterns or parasols and nibble on moon cakes to mark the day. The Mid-Autumn Festival is one of the most important holidays in Chinese culture.. The history of the festival dates back over 3,000 years. It is a time of reunion for families, a little like Thanksgiving. During the festival, lanterns of all size and shapes – which symbolize beacons that light people’s path to prosperity and good fortune – are carried and displayed. Mooncakes, a rich pastry typically filled with sweet-bean, egg yolk, meat or lotus-seed paste, are traditionally eaten during this festival.
Fall Native Plant Sale
Scherman Hoffman Wildlife Sanctuary 11 Hardscrabble Road, BernardsvilleNative trees, shrubs and wildflowers will be available for sale during our annual Fall Native Plant Sale at the Scherman Hoffman Nature Center! Native plants benefit pollinators, such as bees and hummingbirds, and the caterpillars upon which both resident and migratory birds depend. Help create the habitat that is needed to attract wildlife to your backyard. Fall is the perfect time to plant perennials, shrubs and trees in order to give plants time to establish roots before the ground freezes, so that they are ready to flower and leaf out the following year. Some of the trees that will be available for sale include Common pawpaw, Eastern redbud and Common persimmon. Shrubs that will be available include Sweet pepperbush, American witch-hazel, Winterberry, Spicebush, Pussy willow, Elderberry, Steeplebush and Highbush blueberry. Flowering perennials that will be available include Swamp milkweed, Purple coneflower, Black-eyed Susan, Wild ginger, Butterfly weed, and Cardinal flower. We will have Cinnamon fern available, as well as Trumpet vine, and many other species. Come early to find the plant that you are looking for.

Ten years later, Mr. Wallace was moving to New Jersey and would be neighbor to the Rev. Jacob Rutsen Hardenbergh, the Dutch Reformed minister who led the effort to found Queen’s College!
