"A little hour well-filled, a little field well-tilled...are great riches."
-Frederick Sayen
We are going to present this travel destination in four parts. My mom has a ton of photos from here since she loves it :D It is definitely an interesting place!
Sayen Gardens is a little hidden gem in Hamilton, NJ. It is a botanical garden that was founded by Frederick Sayen, a passionate gardener and global traveler. He bought a thirty acre lot in Hamilton Square in 1912. He constructed a small house and placed flowering shrubs, flowers, and trees that he obtained during his journeys around it. They are from three specific countries: England, China, and Japan.
Things to remember:
The garden is open seven days a week from 8 AM to 6 PM and the admission is free
Dogs are allowed if they are on a leash. As always, owners are expected to pick up after them.
Exploring all parts of the garden takes about two hours. We recommend staying a bit longer of course!
A map is available on Hamilton Township's website. We will be including more information about the flowering shrubs, flowers. and trees in the next two posts. Stay tuned!
