New Jersey Botanical Gardens

Last Monday, we went to the NJ Botanical Gardens in Ringwood NJ. The place is also known as the Skylands. The manor that is in the center of the property once belonged to Clarence MacKenzie Lewis, a NYC stockbroker back in the 1920s. The estate was built to mimic the Tutor style English mansion. It has 44 rooms. A nine-hole golf course once surrounded the property. Today, it showcases some of the most beautiful gardens in the state. Since, the weather was not beach friendly that day, we decided to finally visit the Skylands. It was absolutely beautiful!
