Candelabra Primrose (1 of 2) in Late May ’15 at Leonard J. Buck Garden of Far Hills New Jersey
We just love the wonderful array of wildflowers along the edge of the ponds and extended brooks. It seems that there is always something new and beautiful.
Situated in Far Hills in Somerset County of New Jersey, this hidden gem, nestled amongst hills and brooks, is like the proverbial Garden of Eden. Incorporating the natural landscape and creating a truly enchanting garden around it makes this place a MUST VISIT for anyone with a sense of appreciation for nature in a quiet way. Nothing pretentious, but so much can be seen and learned from each outing. The bucolic setting will put your heart and soul at ease, and quickly remove the stress of everyday life—at least, while you are there.
The vast collection of trees and plants is incredible, and the landscape architecture is attended to with such deep passion and care. Wildlife, such as birds, insects—wide variety of butterflies, dragonflies, and damselflies--amphibians and reptiles can be seen regularly during the warmer seasons, and the pure air of life emanates throughout. The frogs and snapping turtles, in particular, are quite amazing, the latter often lurking under a layer of vegetation just beyond the surface of the water. Accordingly, the brooks and ponds are rich with activity and you don’t need to enjoy photography to appreciate the many wonders found in this bucolic landscape.
