Willowwood Arboretum, Botanical garden in Chester Township, Morris County, New Jersey.
The Willowwood Arboretum spans 130 acres with formal gardens, woodland paths, and meadows featuring 2,100 native and exotic plant species throughout the property.
Henry and Robert Tubbs purchased the land in 1908 using a small legacy, transforming the country home near Gladstone into New Jersey's longest operating arboretum.
The property maintains strong connections to E.H. Wilson, who shared numerous plant specimens from his expeditions to China during his time at Arnold Arboretum.
Visitors can explore the gardens daily from 8 AM until sunset, with free admission and access to self-guided cell phone tours from April through November.
The arboretum houses specialized collections including the Ornamentals Collection, which displays plants selected for their winter characteristics of fruit, bark, and branches.
