Twilight Tours of Learning's Run Set

Swaint On — Several special guided twilight tours will be an added attraction at Learning's Run Botanical Gardens here. The 20-acre woodland gardens of Jack and Emily Aprill have been open to the public for the past six summers. The winding paths lead the visitor through more than two dozen varied gardens where the natural wooded beauty is enhanced by the best of plantings. The gardens are a beautiful blend of old and new, nature and landscaping. Snytoth flat trails provide easy walking in cool wooded areas, past reflecting pools and a quiet running stream. Colonial life is more easily visualized with the log [ cabin and farm buildings which Aprill has constructed as they would have been when Christopher Learning first settled in the late 1600's. At trails end Emily's dried flower arrangements are displayed in the Cooperage, a barn which was built in 1730 by Christopher Learning, a whaler, and one of Cape May County's early settlers, and used in the 1700's to make barrels for whale oil. THE DRIED FLOWERS and arrangements are of the same type that the settlers used to add color in their homes. Emily's Interest in dried flowers actually prompted the Aprills to establish the gardens. They dry many of the everlasting flowers such as yarrow, statice. baby's breath, pearly everlasting and nigelia pods. Many wild flowers are also to be found in the wooded gardens, with occasional swamp pinks and lady slippers. A variety of ferns also add their lacy beauty. The gardens are open to

the public 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. June 15 to Oct. 20. The special guided twilight tours, by reservation, will start at 6:30 p.m. Special emphasis will be on the New Jersey Shore area. The first of the tours is scheduled for July 5 on the subject "Making your New Jersey Yard Beautiful." On July 11 Aprill will concentrate on "Annuals - the Flowering Mainstay of New Jersey Gardens." Other subjects include "The Colonial Garden," on July 18; "Easy to Grow Flowers," July 25; "Making A Living at the Shore in Colonial Times," Aug. 1 <. and "Hisbiscus Week - A Garden Highlight," Aug. 8. The latter is also scheduled for 10:30 a.m. Aug. 15. Other special morning guided tours include "The Colonial Kitchen in 1700," Aug. 22 and "Humming Birds Visit South Jersey," Aug. 29. A "MEDIEVAL DAY" is planned for the last Sunday in August, when SCA « (Society for Creative Anachronism ) members roam the gardens in costumes, and there will be fencing, dancing and j recorder music. Occasionally music of the 1600's and 1700's is played by a group of Cape May County musicians who get together to play an early form of the flute, the recorder - which is a wooden instrument with eight finger holes and a fipple (a plug near the mouthpiece to divert the breath in producing the tones). The delicate musical tones on summer breezes impart a unique charm. Learning's Run Botanical Gardens are located on Route 9. between Avalon (Exit 13 - Garden State Parkway) and Sea Isle City Boulevard, and have a modest admittance charge.
