Reeves-Reed Arboretum, Botanical garden in Summit, United States
Reeves-Reed Arboretum is a botanical garden in Summit featuring formal garden spaces, specimen trees, and collections of plants arranged throughout the grounds. Walking paths connect different sections that showcase roses, azaleas, and spring bulbs organized in structured garden areas.
The property was established in the late 1800s with landscape design input from a prominent architect known for major work in New York. Subsequent owners expanded the collections significantly, shaping what the grounds became over time.
The rose collection showcases varieties that bloom throughout the seasons, with visitors walking through different sections that reflect the interests of past stewards. These gardens have long served as a community space where people gather to experience the care invested in each planting.
The grounds are open daily from sunrise to sunset with no entrance fee required. Visitors may explore on their own or join guided tours available on certain days throughout the year.
The grounds contain a sizable planting of azalea shrubs combined with thousands of spring bulbs that create a notable display during a specific season. This extensive collection resulted from the long-term effort of a former owner who dedicated years to building this particular feature.
