Wagner Farm Arboretum offers over 92 acres of outdoor space including a giving garden, children's garden, and community garden. There are several trails to enjoy while strolling the grounds along with gardening classes! The arboretum is a non-profit organization and the Giving Garden produces vegetables dedicated to feeding families and individuals who do not have the resources to acquire a nutritional, healthy, and fresh meal.
They do a lot of good in the Garden State and raise money for their mission in several ways...
Brite Nites allows folks to indulge in an elaborate display of jack o' lanterns, intricately carved and designed by local crafts folk. A garden path filled to the brim with pumpkin sculptures and pieces of pumpkin-based artwork is bound to astound you. Follow it once, twice, walk slowly. Experience and indulge in the incredible artistry. It's a fun experience that's engaging and appropriate for the whole family!
Can you imagine walking down the pumpkin path and marveling at all of the magnificent jack o' lanterns illuminating the night? It's almost unreal. It's the best pumpkin glow in New Jersey, with no competition. You'll see some truly terrific carvings! Travel above and under the ocean, past pirates and giant serpents and through the Wild West, looking out for famous people on the way. Your journey will take you through a multitude of amazing scenes that our artists have created using pumpkins.
Make sure that you don't miss out on the quirky "Barn of Fear" experience, filled with eerie ghouls, vampires, zombies and ghosts. Yikes! There's nothing like a good and creepy Halloween scare. This truly is the best pumpkin glow in New Jersey! And while the pumpkins are pretty, there's even more fun to be had... Of course, keep in mind that you'll have to bring cash! This fun experience is definitely worth the investment for the whole family, and it comes highly recommended as the best pumpkin glow in New Jersey. Does it get any better than that...?
