Van Vleck House and Gardens, Botanical garden in Montclair, New Jersey, United States.
The Van Vleck House and Gardens spans 5.8 acres with various sections including a courtyard garden, carriage house, greenhouses, rock garden, and formal gardens.
The Mediterranean-style villa was constructed in 1916 by Joseph Van Vleck Jr and remained in family ownership until its donation to The Montclair Foundation in 1993.
The gardens function as an educational center offering horticultural programs and seasonal festivals that connect the local community with environmental conservation practices.
The main house accommodates non-profit organization events while visitors can explore multiple walking paths through different themed garden sections throughout the year.
A Chinese wisteria planted in 1939 grows around the rear porch pillars, while the gardens feature rhododendrons and azaleas named after Van Vleck family members.
