Gardens in NJ

My favorites are

VanFleck in Montclair for azaleas & Rhododendron and a monster wisteria in late-April
the Presby Iris in Upper Monclair (around Mother's Day)
Colonial Park for roses and touch&smell garden (and the best mini-golf course) - mid-June
While you're there its only a few miles to the Old Millstone Forge Museum if you're there on Sunday from 1 to 4.
and once a year it's worth the trip to Grounds for Sculpture which has good musical events too

Are we there yet ? describes (very well) places in NJ, NY, DE, MD, CT and PA. Good for ideas and details
