What People Are Saying

"The azaleas and flowering trees were amazing. There was beautiful columbine in bloom as well as spectacular peonies! A few iris flowers have also revealed. I will return next spring to see their amazing daffodil bowl in full bloom! Highly recommended and lots of programming to be found here for locals!"

Come join us for the Daffodil Day Festival!

This decades-old tradition in Summit gives visitors the chance to experience one of the largest daffodil collections in New Jersey—over 50,000 bulbs in bloom in the Arboretum’s glacially carved Daffodil Bowl!

The day’s activities will include spring-themed games and crafts, a story trail, music, food, market vendors, our current art exhibit, and, of course, the Green Goats will be here.

Advanced ticket purchase is required. Due to the festival’s popularity, we cannot accept walk-ins.

If you can’t make it, visit us during Daffodil Days from April 1–15. Sign up under “Annual Events”.
