Tours

Family Hikes & Walks
The New Jersey Botanical Gardens includes 96 acres of gardens surrounded by 1000 acres of woodlands. Join NJBG hike leaders on an easy, child-friendly hike in the Garden’s woodlands. Learn a bit about the plants, animals and geology around you.

Support
NJBG relies on public contributions to preserve and enhance the gardens as well as repair and renovate the historically designated Carriage House. Memorial trees and benches are one way to do this. You can also contribute through this website or use Amazon Smile.

Membership
It’s easy to join NJBG or renew your membership — or a gift membership — online, by phone or by mail. Some of the benefits of your NJBG membership include discounts at participating nurseries, garden centers, and our Gift Shop as well as guest passes for our Manor Tours.

Aerial View: Gardens & Manor
Using a drone, one of our members shot footage of the New Jersey Botanical Gardens (including the Manor) at different times of the year. You can view for yourself the beauty of NJBG not only in the summer but also in the winter.

NJBG Interactive Map
A number of our volunteers have spent hours using GIS technology to map out the location of each plant in some of our gardens. With the use of your mobile phone, you will be able to view where you are on a map of a garden and identify the plants you are viewing.
Kid’s Stuff
The New Jersey State Botanical Garden has tons of fun for young people, too, with tours designed especially for children ages 8-12.

Scavenger Huntall ages!
