Skylands Botanical Gardens- A Walk

Buddha in the Park
Skylands Botanical Gardens is a true treasure of a park in Northern New Jersey. On the grounds of an old Manor, the Gardens have a diverse array of sections that satisfy every plant lover.
 
The Statuary in the Gardens is magnificent and statues are set in different niches in the garden where they can be enjoyed by the visitors.
The Annual Gardens




The perennial Gardens in late fall

Every season here is beautiful and worth a visit.

Sit for awhile!

Fawn with a flute
On this particular walk, my friend West and I enjoyed watching a pileated woodpecker pecking away on a tree trunk too high for a photograph. West said that she'd seen one up close and what impressed her was that these birds have amazingly developed neck muscles that help them in their relentless pecking!

Enjoy!
