A note about our ever evolving Driftwood Garden. It is located next to the Activities Parking Lot over the small white bridge. Over the Winter and early Spring we built a Fire Pit with log seating around it for 10-12. The raised beds are filled with cold weather crops like parsley, lettuces, peas, kale and more. The border beds are now filled with Pollinator Friendly plants, many of which are native to NJ and region. You will see sprouts of many perennials such as coreopsis, lobilial, catnip, lemon balm, black-eyed Susans, red canna, daisies, Stella D'Oro daylillies, a butterfly bush and a host of hearty herbs. Activities has many events scheduled in the garden revolving around learning how to plant, tend, harvest, sharing with others and enjoying growing plants and eating fresh vegetables and herbs. Yes, the Garden is for all campers! Just please leave enough for the next person and planned events! Find peace in nature! Take a stroll through the Driftwood Garden and notice the goodness of Mother Nature.

Please read signs. The right side and back wall of the shed is for sharing. The left side is storage for the Garden and Activities. Please do not touch the items on the left side of the shed.
