New Jersey is popularly referred to as the ‘garden state’. Need I say more? The state’s filled with gardens. The most popular of then being the New Jersey botanical garden at Skylands. In 1922, Clarence McKenzie Lewis, an investment banker and a trustee of the New York Botanical Garden, purchased the property and built the existing Tudor-style manor house. He also transformed Skylands into a botanical showplace. Mr. Lewis engaged prominent landscape architects to design the grounds and for thirty years collected plants from all over the world to show in his garden.
The New Jersey Botanical garden is paradise for a flower lover. Different varieties of flowers can be found blooming in these breathtaking environs, with special place being reserved for the New Jersey state flower, the common Violet. Regular events like music shows, flower shows and educational seminars are organized at the gardens. The NJBG are very popular with tourists as well who may a time come down from New York just for a day to view these gardens. You can learn more about NJBG here, http://www.njbg.org.
