2025 Garden Concerts
Tickets go on sale March 15th!
With each musical event you will watch as the Gardens unveil themselves and begin to bloom and frame the stage of our concerts. Classical, Jazz, Irish, Bluegrass & many more inspired tunes will fill the fragrant air as you enjoy this exceptional opportunity to be outdoors & listen to some great music.
Food Makes Friends will be on hand offering our guests local sourced, fresh organic dough pizzas and whatever else our pirates can create in our new earthen oven (fancy word for wood burning stove), thanks to the help of our HDC crew & NOFA-NJ.
Jasmine Bloch-Krempels, our Music Director has created an incredible line-out not only for the Gardens, but our Art Shows & Fundraising dinners as well!

As the weather get swarmer - we will move outdoors, in our Gardens, Pumpkin Field and even in the stream.
For what better place than to be outdoors!
Monthly Wellness Salon
Come join us to connect with fellow members of our community over coffee & tea, learn some insights on specific health topics from our nutritionist, and listen to guest speakers while they educate us on their field of practice. In addition to the Wellness Salon which will meet monthly on Saturday mornings, we will be offering special programs on a variety of healing methods.
Walking & Mindfulness Experience
In 2024 our Walks will be scheduled around the The Equinox & Solstice. A new experience as we walk the trails of WhittemoreCCC.
Meditation Circuit
We have unveiled 3 of the 5 benches and look forward to unveiling the last two in 2024! Currently the trail map, and locations of each bench, as well as their associated Mindfulness Meditation can be found HERE!
Why are some of our programs in both Wellness & Nature - because you cannot have one without the other.
Today it is even more important than ever to take care of oneself, being mindful, staying healthy and what better place than in nature.
