The 2015 Summer Plant Symposium is right around the corner! See below for information about the landscape design tour, then CLICK HERE to register for the event!

This tour is sponsored by APLD-NJ, and has been submitted for APLD and ASLA continuing education credits.

Tour departs Rutgers Gardens at 8:30am

First stop: Plangere’s Residence - Jules and Jayne Plangere home in Spring Lake is found within the "iron gate" which is the former site of legendary Maloney estate.  The estate is long gone with 7 homes occupying the former site including the Plangere's.   Jules is the son of the head horticulturist for the Maloney estate so his property holds a very sentimental place to him filled with unique and mature horticultural features.

Second stop: Greaves Residence - Bonnie Greaves of Ocean Grove has a very intense small property where she gets the most out of it.  She will join us and greet her quests and we're hoping the attendees can gain the perspective of a "client" who is very involved and hands on.

Third stop: Jung Residence - Andrea Jung of Rumson is a Fortune 500 CEO and we'll visit her summer residence. Located on the Navesink river, her property suffered much damage from Hurricane Sandy and we'll be able to share the restoration process and the opportunities it presented.

Following the third stop the tour returns to the Rutgers Gardens for the Barbecue Cook Out followed by keynote presenter Dan Benarcik of Chanticleer Gardens!

The evening concludes with social time and tour of the gardens for those interested.
