A pretty garden though photographers set up on both ends of the collonade made it a bit challenging to fully enjoy the gardens. Water tower is very cool. Its a small garden and easily combined with other things.
Beautiful garden!

What a beautiful, dreamy garden. I prefer a small and simple walk and this was it. One hour was enough to enjoy the grounds. If you can wear a lovely dress it would be great for pictures.
Just had our engagement photos taken here 08.02.22, this place is simply beautiful and has alot of good spots to take photos. There were several people there for the same thing. I will definitely be going back to this location in the future. I attached some photos below from our engagement session.
I accidentally stumbled upon this place when I was hiking along the Patriots Path (I started at the Audubon preserve) and I'm glad I did! Even with not much in bloom it was a gorgeous property, and the old water tower is super cool. Can't wait to go back in the summer!
Beautiful peaceful garden to visit with your loved ones. Plenty opportunities / scenery / spots to take Beautiful 😍 pictures 📸. …
Beautiful scenic gardens with plenty of space to walk around and take in the fall scenery and also to take photos. We did our family photos there this year and are definitely hoping to return for more in the spring and my kids have asked to go back and explore!
Enjoyed a beautiful day exploring this beautiful estate. We walked a short trail and took so many pictures from the water tower to all the blooming flowers. This is a hidden gem to visit. Free entrance, plant sales and you can picnic with benches and tables provided. Or just come to sit and listen to nature.
Was really pretty considering nothing was in bloom. The layout is well done and the water tower was pretty cool. Will definitely be back in the spring. :)
Small but a beautiful botanical garden. Hidden gem near Baking Ridge. We thought that it would be a quick visit, but we spent more than two hours here. Our young son loved the flowers and the tower.
