  • Images of Frelinghuysen Arboretum by Gail Susan Waimon – 6/1/25

    We got an email with a big batch of beautiful pictures of the Arboretum taken by visitor Gail Susan Waimon and a nice message:

    Two friends and I visited the Arboretum at 10:00 a.m. and walked about until 11:30. Although there were not as many blooms as I have seen in the past, there was still, images to shoot and joy to be had! I use my imagination then once I return home I start to edit. My iPhone pro is the devise of my choice and take a shot that interest me, then using several photo apps I go to work . Sometimes I keep a realistic ,memory or go wild and crazy beyond the original.
    Apps…
    picsart
    Snapseed
    Lightroom
    Etc.

  • Turtle from Shawn Allen – 5/22/25

    Visitor Shawn Allen and family sent these pictures of a turtle they encountered, along with the following note:

    Hello,

    While walking along the blue trail near the Wet Meadow, my daughters and I came across a lovely, large turtle in its habitat in the Arboretum. This is the first time we’ve seen it, from a safe distance so as not to disturb it. We gave it a name: Tucker Turtle.

    Kind regards

    Nice pictures of a sizable turtle. Any knowledgable turtle-lovers out there? My web app says it’s a common snapping turtle. Is that right?

    In any case, thanks to Shawn for the pictures of one of the Arboretum’s many interesting residents.



  • At the Arboretum – 5/21/25

    Enjoy these wonderful photographs taken at the Arboretum by Judy Snow. Please note that the annuals at the Haggerty Education Center (HEC) entrance are made possible by a grant from the Friends of The Frelinghuysen Arboretum.

    • Foreman Dylan planting the annuals bed in front of the HEC
    • The delicate, strappy white flowers of fringetree (Chionanthus virginicus)
    • A luscious raspberry colored Peony flower (Paeonia spp)
    • Star shaped, pale blue flowers of the Eastern bluestar (Amsonia tabernaemontana) in front of the Pan herm
    • The striking dark red, scented flowers of the Carolina allspice shrub (Calycanthus floridus)
    • Two very different planters at the HEC entrance; don’t you just love the variety of lettuces combined with pansies?

    Make time to visit the Arboretum and see all these plants for yourself!

    Thank you so much Judy for these beautiful shots.
