Do you know why New Jersey is called “The Garden State?” It’s because we’re home to many gorgeous nature centers, public gardens, and arboretums. Whether you’re looking for unique gardening ideas or just a quiet stroll among the flowers, these public gardens are a great (not to mention gorgeous) way to spend an afternoon.
During the COVID-19 Crisis, safety guidelines and restrictions may be in place for public gardens and other outdoor trails. With this in mind, we are including specific updates for each place on our list. Just look for the “Current COVID-19 restrictions” section of each listing.
