I love a good hike, but I’m not always ready to go trekking into the woods. That’s why for more laid-back days, there’s nothing like a garden hike in New Jersey to get the blood pumping and the spirits lifted. New Jersey has some incredible gardens, but one hidden gem is found in the historic town of Morristown – home to some of the state’s best attractions. This is the Frelinghuysen Arboretum, a massive 127-acre garden run by the Morris County Parks Commission and open free of charge daily. There are miles of simple hiking trails located within the Arboretum, making it an amazing place to spend the day hiking and discovering the many secrets within. There are untold species of plants, trees, and flowers here, and the arboretum will look a little different every time you visit – because nature never stops growing and changing.
