Here's something else in Summit

Nice weather? Consider a nature walk through this free, non-profit arboretum. Well-maintained paths guide you through garden landscapes around a historic house with all kinds of trees, shrubs, flowers, and herbs. Get some ideas for your own garden. Take some pictures. Staff is friendly. There's an art gallery. There are activities for kids. You can get a guided tour. Some places were closed either due to Covid, or seasonal scheduling. So check info for hours, monthly scheduled events, etc. There is some parking.

Winter at Reeves-Reed Arboretum

It was cold on the day I arrived, but I stopped into the Visitor Center and picked up a map of the property and looked at some displays of potted plants and used the touch screens to see what this place offered. Then I walked over to the Wisner House. Because it was a weekend, the house wasn't open, but I did peek into the windows and saw the temporary artwork on display. I also looked at subtropical, tropical, and desert plants in the greenhouse.

Amazing trees, beautiful grounds

Spent maybe an hour max walking through the gardens and woodland trails on a Fall day. Came across goats eating, and we were impressed mostly by the huge tulip tree and black oak, and maple trees.

Hundred dollar beer

My wife and I live in Summit and saw the signs for the 'Oktoberfest' for Sunday September 30th. I had been to the arboretum years back with my kids and remember walking around the hilly grounds, looking at plants, maybe there was a deer or two? It's a pretty property with plants and shrubs and trees. There's no onsite parking although it's possible to park on Hobart and walk. So I returned, expecting to walk around the grounds, point at plants, maybe take a picture or two. The first clue I had that something was amiss was this: where were all the cars? and the people? It looked empty for their Oktoberfest celebration. So we walk in and the man at the booth says "$100 entrance fee". Seriously? I thought he had been joking. What would we get for our $100 fee? Unlimited beer, a bratwurst hot dog, and a pretzel, and shall we say 'ambling privileges' (walking around the hilly grounds and take a photo or two). $100? Seriously? I can buy beer for $1 at the A&P, and guess what -- I have plants in my backyard that I can take photos of. I can only drink one beer at the most anyway. So we left, laughing and wondering: so what's with the Arboretum?

Beautiful Grounds

I used to live in Summit and went there often at different seasons. A very relaxing place to walk around and see the beautiful landscaping.
