Howard Van Vleck Arboretum, Botanical garden at Montclair Art Museum, New Jersey.

The Howard Van Vleck Arboretum extends across 3.5 acres of landscaped grounds, featuring numerous plant species and well-maintained walking paths throughout the property.

Established in 1940 by horticulturist Howard Van Vleck, the arboretum underwent significant redesign and partial replanting during the Montclair Art Museum expansion in 2001.

The arboretum functions as an educational center, offering programs and guided tours that teach visitors about plant species, horticulture, and environmental conservation.

Located at 3 South Mountain Avenue in Montclair, the arboretum remains open daily without admission fees and includes facilities for visitors with different mobility needs.

A Chinese wisteria from 1939 grows around the portico pillars, while the gardens display specialized collections of rhododendrons and azaleas named after Van Vleck family members.
