Greenwood Gardens is a beautiful 28-acre landscaped garden in Millburn, New Jersey, originally constructed on the estate of the same name, which was developed in its current form by Peter Blanchard in the mid-20th century. After Blanchard's death in 2000, the estate's stunning Italianate garden was opened to the public by the Garden Conservancy as a nonprofit organization.
Today, it is known for its unique architectural and artistic elements, including a lovely statue of a boy with two geese, crafted by artist Emilio Angela. The gardens' beautiful gates, created by Samuel Yellin, are laced with vines and assorted plantings.
Its estate home is preserved on its grounds, which are also home to a summer house, a 1920s-era tea house, and worker cottages. Visitors can explore the gardens via standard admission or become garden members to enjoy exclusive access to special events like educational tours and concerts.
