Come with us on a tour of the Greenwood Gardens (located in Short Hills, New Jersey) an estate that was once owned by a New York City real estate tycoon and is now cared for by the Garden Conservancy.
Walking into the gardens from the parking lot, you come upon the main house.
The restored front gate garden opposite the main house.
Looking out to the left of the main house, you have a stunning view of the Watchung Mountains.
Western Blue Virginsbower, Clematis occidentalis.
The Summer House is a small stone structure surrounded by four massive horse chestnut trees that provide ample shade.
Chess piece statues can be found throughout the garden.
A cascade fountain, which has yet to be restored, is a series of small terraces with Rookwood tile faces for the spouts.
