It’s a hobby, it’s horticulture, and it’s popular across America. Garden railroads combine model trains and strategic plantings to enhance your yard. Join S. Ann Earon, a Rutgers Master Gardener of Ocean County, for garden railroading tips on Monday, Sept. 11 at 10:30 a.m.

Earon will share what she and her husband have learned in designing and building two garden railroads in New Jersey. Topics will include site selection, ground preparation, track types, and the ways plants enhance the space.
