Celebrate Spring At The Cranford Community Center

CRANFORD, NJ - Twenty-five New Jersey public gardens will be showcased as Walter Choroszewski presents “Garden State in Bloom” at 1 p.m. Saturday at the Cranford Community Center.

The program features the gardens with colorful photography and historic information about each garden and is sponsored by the Crane’s Ford Chapter, Daughters of the American Revolution to fulfill one of National DAR’s objectives for education and conservation of the environment. This event is free of charge.

Choroszewski has been a leading advocate of Jersey pride since 1980 when he was commissioned to photograph the state for a book project, “New Jersey, a Scenic Discovery.” He has since published 18 photographic books, organizers said. Choroszewski’s book, “New Jersey, a Photographic Celebration,” was selected for the official New Jersey 350th Anniversary “101 Great New Jersey Books List.”

He was awarded the first NJ Photo Journalism Award by Governor Thomas Kean for his photographs being the inspiration for the state tourism campaign in the ‘80s and ‘90s, “New Jersey and You: Perfect Together”. For over 30 years he has promoted New Jersey through public speaking and popular school programs.

The Cranford Community Center is located at 220 Walnut Avenue. On-site parking is available.
