Frelinghuysen Arboretum, Botanical garden and nature reserve in Morris Township, New Jersey
The Frelinghuysen Arboretum encompasses 127 acres of ornamental gardens, featuring collections of grasses, spring-blooming shrubs, perennials, and summer flowering plants.
The property originated as Whippany Farm, owned by George Griswold Frelinghuysen, before Matilda Frelinghuysen converted it into a public arboretum in 1971.
The Great Lawn hosts outdoor concerts during summer months, while educational programs teach children about gardening through hands-on activities.
