trees

During the peak of the Nor'Easter hammering the Jersey Shore Wednesday night, a Toms River man was hit by a tree and downed power lines have weakened a home in Manchester.

Who doesn't enjoy taking a break on a warm spring afternoon in the shade of a tree? A new campaign between a national charity and the state of New Jersey aims to plant over 100,000 new trees in the Garden State this year, and you can be a part of it!

Even though it feels like the middle of June, as we all know it is the middle of October. It's right about now that we should be seeing the annual splash of color across Ocean County.

As I was driving in to work this morning, I noticed something about the trees on the Parkway. They're changing, but they don't seem to be changing like usual.

Two weeks ago we talked about the early signs of Spring. What a difference two weeks makes! From tiny little buds that you had to look really hard for, to trees getting ready to pop, flowers poking up, and foliage starting to fluff, we want to see what Spring looks like by you!

As I was driving down the Parkway to work today, I noticed the stunning colors all along the highway. While we may not think of the Parkway as the perfect place to see fall foliage, the stretch from Ocean County, south into Atlantic County is actually gorgeous this time of year.

New Jersey's weather so far this winter has run the gamut: from snowy and icy, to record low temperatures, to highs in the 60s and heavy, deluging rain.

I had to laugh as I was walking to grab lunch in downtown Toms River just a little while ago. Obviously, being fall, you'll see plenty of trees changing colors and losing leaves. But this one made me laugh out loud because it literally looked it just dropped it's whole canopy all in one fell swoop:

On this gloomy, stormy winter day, I want to let you know that visions of spring are just about an hour away at the Philadelphia Flower Show.  If you go, anytime between now and Sunday, here's what you'll find:  Flowers and trees of almost every size, shape, and color...

Get involved in a great charity event and celebrate the holiday season
