New Jersey's Great Gardens

A Four-Season Guide to 125 Public Gardens, Parks, and Arboretums

Arline Zatz

In this practical, informative guide, Arline Zatz describes 125 inviting places to spend an hour, an afternoon, or an entire day. Each garden has been chosen for its uniqueness and beauty, and for each location you'll find information on the history and plantings, details on how to get there, when to visit for peak bloom and seasonal events, and much more.

Features:

  • The landscaped grounds of spectacular estates

  • Vast arboretums with winding trails

  • All-America rose selection gardens

  • Sculpture gardens and rock gardens

  • Colonial herb and Shakespeare gardens

  • Demonstration and educational gardens

  • Bird, butterfly, and wildflower gardens

  • One-of-a-kind gardens in unexpected places
  • "The Garden State has long needed a definitive work detailing all of New Jersey's many good gardens and open spaces. Arline Zatz has written just that-a lively, informative Baedeker of New Jersey's green and flowered places in all seasons. . . . a must-have reference and guidebook."
