Community Gardens
Garden plots are available for lease to Arboretum Members who live in Warren Township or other surrounding areas. Also situated within the enclosed gardens are plots dedicated to the Giving Garden Project which are maintained by volunteers.
Children’s Gardens
Along with the flower beds, shrubs and trees, the Children’s Garden also has a boxwood maze, life-size cows, gazebo, fairy garden, touch garden, an alphabet garden and lots of space for the children’s enjoyment.
Giving Gardens
The purpose of the Giving Gardeners’ Project (GGP) is to produce vegetables dedicated to feed families, individuals, and elderly who do not have the resources to acquire a nutritional, healthy, and fresh meal.
“To plant a garden is to believe in tomorrow.”

Wagner Farm Arboretum seeks to enrich, educate and inspire the community by increasing environmental awareness and recreational opportunities. Come and visit our 92.6 acres of beautiful open space, volunteer in our giving garden, come to one of our classes or events to learn about and experience our natural environment. Take a stroll in the Children’s garden or just hang out and look out at the savanna. There are recreational, educational and volunteering opportunities for everyone at Wagner Farm Arboretum!
Our Giving Garden and Growing to Give programs have benefited over 200,000 families in New Jersey with fresh produce over the past ten years. Thousands of local school children have gone through the Growing to Give program to learn about healthy food, the environment and the joy of helping the lives of others.
