Garden Tours will be held on September 15 and 29 at 11 a.m.; free and open to the public.

Your tour will also cover some of Morven’s other landscape features, which were restored in 2000.

Kids Collage a la Stuart Davis with Deborah Hockstein is on Saturday, September 9,  at 11 a.m. in Morven’s Garden Room. Ages 7-12, $10; $8 Friends of Morven. Morven’s latest exhibition, “Newark and the Culture of Art: 1900-1960,” explores the unique combination of art and industry that made Newark, New Jersey a magnet for modern artists in the early twentieth century.  One of the exhibition’s featured artists, Stuart Davis, was widely known for his collages and use of brilliant color, abstraction, lettering, movement, and musicality.

Inspired by both Mr. Davis’ work and the current show, award-winning artist Deborah Hockstein has created a special collage workshop just for Morven. Each child’s art will be based on words and objects of their choice and created while listening to music of the jazz period — wrapped up with a group “showing.”  No previous art experience required and each artist will take home his/her creation.

Yoga in the Garden with Gemma, Saturday, September 9 at noon. Free to all ages — public welcome. Morven will host its annual series of yoga classes in Morven’s gardens with Gemma Farrell of Gratitude Yoga in Princeton. Ms. Farrell, a longtime yoga practitioner, invites the community to join her. No registration required. Yoga-lovers of all ages and skill levels welcome. Don’t forget your yoga mat, towel, and bottle of water. In the event of rain, the practice will take place at Gratitude Yoga.

Discussion with Louise Feder: 1913 Armory Show’s Influence on Select New Jersey and Pennsylvania Artists, September 14 at 7 p.m.; $10; $8 Friends of Morven.
