A piece of soft bark on a bed of bald cypress needles. Squirrels have been known to strip bark off of these trees, perhaps for use in nesting materials, or perhaps to gain access to the tree’s sap or to insects that have burrowed inside. Bald eagles are known to nest in these trees. It may not be considered that useful for humans, but nature sure likes them. As the climate warms, New Jersey will be seeing more, but it will take a long time before they get established and we start seeing the benefit. We should think about planting these trees in South Jersey now.

A cloud of orange-red berries at Skylands. When I’m not sure exactly what kind of berries I’m dealing with, I err strongly on the side of inedible. But what kind of berries are they?

Skylands Botanical Gardens {tbt}

On my birthday, a couple of years ago, my surprise was going to one of New Jersey’s Botanical Gardens in Ringwood, NJ called Skylands.

“From the delicate shade of a tiny wildflower to the vibrant colors of a massed annual plantings, Skylands is a place of beauty in any season.” -NJBG

That quote, pulled from the Skylands website, is definitely a true statement.

I love being outdoors. That’s just a fact. The easiest way to keep me content is to show me somewhere cool on a sunny day. Greg did just that when he arranged our trip out there. We both hadn’t been up to this location so it was a fresh experience for us both. You drive in and immediately the experience is so scenic and the parking lots are easily accessible. There are three different lots and the garden is beneath Mount Defiance so it’s also a great place for hiking. It’s a manageable size though if you’re just looking for a lazy stroll through somewhere verdant. The grass and displays are so well kempt, because of the hard work of the gardeners, but that makes things like bringing your dog or playing lawn games, entirely frowned upon, unfortunately. We both liked that most of the flora were tagged. Greg would try and read all the signs even if they were tucked really far into the trees. And personally, there have been times where I see a flower and wish I knew the name so that I could attempt to grow some in my own garden. I mean, chances are I won’t end up doing that, but it’s nice to have the info 😉 Botanical gardens are just so stunning because they’re a glimpse into other world’s topography. We saw trees from Norway and the southern US so I felt like I’m globetrotting through an arboretum! And since the gardens change through the seasons, it’s a fresh glimpse no matter when you go. But don’t forget to keep an eye out for frogs! We actually saw a little guy next to a fountain, far outside the hiking and marsh areas. Not going to lie, I was pretty much sold on the place simply based upon that fact. That was probably only second to seeing a group of sunbathing turtles at one of the ponds.

I definitely recommend taking advantage of the group events as well. There is open parking on weekdays where you don’t have to pay per parked vehicle, but on weekends, there is a fee. Everything helps with the maintenance of the park and this is definitely something that needs to be preserved.

  I certainly miss living on the East Coast, and having access to upstate NY and northern NJ. I never appreciated the little things of it before moving to Colorado which can seem almost monochromatic most days. There is certainly so much to see on a coast and it was easier to take day trips.

Let me know what your favorite botanical garden is or just your favorite spot in general. There are so few places that it’s easy to spend several hours in. What are yours?

With love,

C
