Monthly Gardening Tips
A BEAUTIFUL Private Garden Visit - PICTURES!
While reading about the Garden Conservancy and its mission, I came across listings of private garden “open days.” Typically there are 3 open days a year at each garden that is available to see. Several states list many open gardens. Some may be near your trip destination! My husband Tom and I combined a visit to The Mountsier Garden in Nutley NJ on September 7th with a trip we were taking to North Jersey. The garden is 2-3 acres in size and located in a residential neighborhood. There are 2? homes on the property and a beautiful private garden party room on the property that was open to see. Tickets were $10.00. No printed information was received on arrival. We were just checked in and allowed to tour the grounds as long as we liked during the open hours of 10-4 pm. Information about parking was sent to us before the visit. All I’ll say is that I thought about this garden for days - ( plant varieties, water features, several different stones used for pathways, and wood, plant, and stone sculptures all complementing one another.) How it all came together involved the owners spending decades working and designing and traveling the world. I plan to visit more Gardens that are listed on the website on their open days. September’s experience here was awesome! This one I will return to again to see it in Spring! Here are 7 of my favorite of the 40 pictures I took. It was hard to choose them.
