| Being in S.Jersey, I like Winterthur and Longwood Gardens. The Duke Gardens are supposed to be nice, but I know almost nothing about them. I did once visit the small iris garden in Montclair at its best. Rarefind Nursery, in Jackson, maintains a demonstration woodland of many Rhododendrons that is quite spectacular in season. |

| I live in southern New Jersey as well and my two regional favorites are Chanticleer and Longwood. Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve is worth a visit especially in April and May when the spring ephemerals including bluebells are in bloom. |
|
| Add the Morris Arboretum in Philly and Deep Cut Gardens in Middletown, NJ. |
|
| Chanticleer is one of my favorites. |

| Simple and beautiful, Leamings Run is our favorite. http://www.leamingsrungardens.com Not an all-day affair, cool under the trees in the summer and all done with annuals. |

| The Indoor Display Gardens created by Doris Duke at Duke Farms in central New Jersey have been a favorite destination for many of us for years. Miss Duke created the Duke Gardens Foundation Inc. and opened the gardens to the public in 1964. Since her death they have been administered by the Trustees of the Foundation. On May 25, 2008, at the discretion of the trustees, these gardens will be closed and their plant collections disbanded. An ongoing slide show of what will be lost can be found at the website shown below. |

| One of my favorite gardens in this area is, like so many of you, Chanticleer. . .particularly because all manner of dramatic changes are actually encouraged from year to year. But the whole greater Philadelphia area has been dubbed "the epicenter of horticulture in the United States".....and I highly recommend checking out a book titled "A Guide to the Great Gardens of the Philadelphia Region", where-in you'll find extensive details about more than fifty fabulous gardens in that area. So far, I've only been able to cover about half of them, but the depth of the collection just leaves you breathless. . .and feeling mighty lucky to be living right next door. Two little-known, but quite wonderful gardens that I enjoy Then there's New York - and I don't mean the State, but the Move on up the Hudson Valley and it's just one stunning Is it possible to have one favorite garden ???
