Community Garden
In addition to being a working flower farm, we are the largest community garden in New Jersey - and dare we say, the most fun!
Over the years, countless people have enjoyed sharing in the beauty, peace and friendship of our place in rural Sussex County.
Pumpkin contests, garlic patches, picklefests, tractor rides and more; bucolic fun abounds at the garden. Plus, our gardeners get to wander around the flower fields whenever they want!
