Hey there, New Jersey. Happy spring! We’re so excited, and absolutely delighted, to start celebrating the season. One of the first things we’ll be doing is admiring the beautiful blooms around the state. One wonderful place to do that, and more, is Reeves-Reed Arboretum.

Daffodils are often spring’s first flowers, and you can see thousands at Reeves-Reed Arboretum in Summit. They’re home to one of the largest Daffodil displays in New Jersey.

Over 30,000 Daffodils bloom in a glacial bowl in front of Wisner House each April. The Arboretum hosts its annual Daffodil Day event to celebrate. The original flowers were planted by Susie Graham Reeves in the 1920s.

Daffodil Day will be held on April 14th. All about “flower power,” you’ll be transported to the ’70s. You’ll find all sorts of family-friendly activities (games, crafts, face painting) and a special photography exhibit. Food and drinks will be available for purchase.
