🌸 Bloom & Wander: A Day Among the Irises (Montclair, NJ)
There’s something about a day surrounded by flowers that makes you slow down… breathe a little deeper… and just be.
Join me for a relaxed and beautiful one-day escape to Montclair, NJ, where we’ll wander through the stunning Presby Memorial Iris Gardens, known for its “rainbow on the hill.”
Thousands of irises in bloom create a living landscape of color, texture, and fragrance in every direction. We’ll also be visiting during a special exhibit, The Art of the Iris, featuring paintings inspired by the gardens in bloom.
This isn’t a rushed or overpacked day.
It’s designed to feel easy, social, and quietly special.

✨ What the day looks like:
We’ll travel together by van and arrive at the gardens just as they’re coming to life. You’ll have time to wander, take photos, and enjoy the blooms at your own pace.
From there, we’ll head into town for a relaxed lunch at Raymond's, followed by a visit to the peaceful Van Vleck House & Gardens before ending the day with a stop at Applegate Farm Ice Cream.

Rhe founding fathers come alive in 1776, the classic award-winning Broadway musical. Join John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson as they fight for independence against a deadlocked Continental Congress in a retelling filled with humor, romance, pathos, and nail-biting tension. 1776 is not just a revolutionary musical; it’s a captivating journey of what happened right here in Philadelphia.
