Gardening with native plants has enjoyed a growing increase in popularity as proven by the topics of several recent library “Gardening with Joe” programs. Natural decorations have been a tradition for many years. Come join us and discover the joy of decorating with nature. Discover nature’s bounty and learn how to create a work of holiday art.

“We are delighted by this annual holiday tradition at our local branch. Those who have participated in past demonstrations join us in urging everyone to attend this conveniently  located and timely opportunity to learn new twists to this sustainably green way of decorating for the winter holidays, along with our Cape May County’s own “Mike McGrath” of the garden, the ever delightful Joe Alvarez,” rejoined Mayor Pikolycky.
