The Sayen House & Gardens was created by Frederick Sayen, an avid gardener who traveled the world. In 1912, he purchased a 30-acre parcel of land not far from the family rubber mill in Hamilton Square, NJ. He built a bungalow style home and surrounded it with plants and flowers acquired while he traveled the world. His collection includes species from China, Japan, and England, many of which are still flourishing today!! There are more than 1,000 azaleas and nearly 500 rhododendrons thriving under the vigilant care of the dedicated Sayen Gardens groundskeepers.

Spring unveils a magnificent display of color and beauty with more than 250,000 flowering bulbs, as well as dogwood trees, heirloom azaleas, and rhododendrons.  Throughout the year, annual and perennial displays fill the gardens with splendor, highlighting the many walking trails, fish ponds, and gazebos that permeate the grounds.
