Greenwood Gardens is a 28-acre public garden in Short Hills, New Jersey, nationally significant for its beauty, history, and design. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, it is a time capsule of New Jersey's gracious past and a haven of tranquility in the busy New York metropolitan area. Greenwood Gardens combines formal gardens, open meadows, woodlands, and pasture. Surrounded on all sides by protected parks and wilderness, its sweeping views create a sense of solitude and serenity.
Greenwood Gardens is more than a garden; it is a center for the study of nature, historic preservation, and conservation. Visitors travel back through time as they walk the century-old paths. Volunteers learn to preserve our natural history by helping to restore native wildflower meadows. Artists find inspiration in the garden's elegant details and magnificent views.
After more than a century of private ownership, in 2003, Greenwood Gardens became a nonprofit organization, open to and supported by the public. To ensure the beauty, safety, and preservation of this treasure for generations to come, the Campaign for Greenwood Gardens – a two-year, $5 million capital campaign – is now underway.
