Pick Your Own

The Trustees of Reservations need your help to prepare and plant Long Hill and Sedgwick Gardens's Pick-Your-Own Flower Fields. We've extended our garden to bring even MORE fresh flowers to the community this year! We have a range of projects available for all abilities, from planting, weeding, and staking, to deadheading, seeding, labeling, and much more. Dig in and have fun with a great group of fellow volunteers!

Craving Spring? Join the folks at The Trustees' Long Hill and Sedgwick Gardens to learn about seed starting for our Pick Your Own Flower Field. Help us sow the first big round of seeds. With your help, these seeds will grow into the cutting flowers that we grow in our Flower Fields! Bring the family: ages 10 and up. Please pre-register.

Between the smell of fresh-from-the-oven baked goods and hot cocoa, twinkling lights, array of homemade gingerbread houses and the buzz of holiday cheer, there’s no better place south of the North Pole to celebrate the holidays. This year the tradition continues when Smolak Farms kicks off the holiday season with their annual Tree Lighting Festival.

Come to the Orchard and meet Johnny Appleseed!  Yes, he will be telling his story and spreading apple seeds!  (We think he'll even pose for a picture or two!)  In addition to meeting Johnny Appleseed, all things apple will be in the farm stand. Pick your own apples to take home!

Smolak Farms is hosting a classic and Antique Car Show right on the Farm!  Classic and Antique Cars will be on display, plus there will be lots of fun family activities that include hayrides, pick your own fruit, live music, baked goods, FREE arts and craft activities for kids, an animal area, a playground, bouncy houses and duck races!

Organic and local - right here at Long Hill! Zinnias, snapdragons, rudbeckia, sunflowers, dahlias, and more bouquet-worthy flowers. Flower bouquets are priced at $7 for a large size, $3 for a child size. Please visit the garden anytime, but pick-your-own is only available at the hours stated. Learn sustainable gardening techniques in this educational, kid-friendly garden.

Come to Marini Farm for their celebration of the Strawberry Harvest. There's something fun for everyone in the family including a 70 foot jumping pillow, inflatables, hay rides, Apple Cannons, Antique Tractors, pick your own strawberries, Strawberry shortcake and more!

Dorothy will be jumping on a hayride with you to take you down the Yellow Brick Road where she will encounter her other friends from the Wizard of Oz throughout the apple orchards. A famous Smolak Farms cider donut and pumpkin will be complimentary with the adventure!

Come to the Pumpkin Festival at Smolak Farms. We will celebrate with a very large selection of pumpkins in our pumpkin patch along with some Hide N' Seek pumpkins that will have a free gift inside! Perhaps you will be the lucky winner!

This weekend is a very special weekend at Smolak Farms. Be the first to pick delicious apples from the Antique Apple Orchard such as the Sheepnose, Sops of Wine, Granny Smith, Pink Pearl, Cortland or Baldwin apples during the group educational tours. Have a chance to meet Johnny Appleseed who will be sharing his legendary tale and posing for photos while providing tours throughout the orchards.
