The warm air, flowers in bloom and tranquil blue skies signal a rebirth in all of our lives, beckoning us to shake off the doldrums and explore our community. Spring is the best time to reacquaint yourself with – or discover for the first time – our historic Essex County Parks System and the loveliness of flowers, trees and the beauty of nature. From April through June, visitors can experience a marathon blooming season of unparalleled diversity. There are more than 5,000 cherry trees transforming the canvas of Essex County Branch Brook Park into a canopy of pink and white every April. This display is larger and more diverse than the national collection in Washington, DC, and is accompanied by a two-week festival of activities. The Essex County Presby Memorial Iris Gardens is world-renown for its variety of this elegant flower. Every May and June, the majestic petals create a “Rainbow on the Hill,” rivalling the colors of a painter’s palette. The Rose Gardens in Essex County Brookdale Park are a fragrant and lush display of America’s favorite flower. Coming to life every June, they form a generous exhibition for photographers and painters. This magazine offers just a sampling of the plentiful offerings of cultural activities that occur every day in Essex County. We encourage you to explore and enjoy a new experience.
