Situated in historic Hamilton Square in the heart of New Jersey, Sayen House and Gardens is a beautifully maintained municipal park and botanical garden that creates a tranquil sanctuary for nature lovers, garden enthusiasts and history buffs alike.
Established in 1912 by Frederick Sayen and his wife, the Sayen House and Gardens is comprised of the Sayen’s ‘bungalow-style’ home in the traditional Arts and Crafts style built with exquisite Victorian interiors, and the magnificent surrounding gardens.
The gardens were opened to the public in 1991 and feature over 1,000 azaleas, 500 rhododendrons and more than 250,000 flowering bulbs, which are shown in an annual Spring display, and a variety of walking trails, bridges and romantic gazebos.
The park and gardens are an attractive place for special celebrations such as wedding receptions, baby showers, and private parties. The Sayen House and Gardens hosts an annual Azalea Festival every Mother’s Day, during which the Sayen House is open to the public.
The garden is open year-round from dawn to dusk without charge though park activity is at its peak in the spring.
