Update: Monarda and Verbena are left!
Come get them! Some perennial wildflowers self-sowed into our annual beds and had to be removed to make way for next year's annual seeds.

Bring a little Van Vleck magic home with you with our Monarda fistulosa, Penstemon digitalis, Verbena hastata, and Eupatorium hyssopifolium.

Stop by the outside of the Visitor Center, and help yourself while they last. Be sure to plant promptly. 💚🌱

*Check out our friends at Bee City Bee City USA and Northeast Earth Coalition for more ways to support pollinators in your yard.

Have you spotted the jellyfish in the Garden? 🪼👀

Created from recycled and discarded materials, Jodie Fink brings a little ocean magic to the Gardens in our newest Tiny Gallery Montclair exhibit. Each piece was designed as a reminder that protecting our waters and the life within them is a responsibility we all share. 🌊

Come explore these captivating sculptures in their NEW location in the Tennis Garden, in front of the Visitor Center - now through January 8th*
