Greenwood Garden in the News

The New York Times, May 14, 2006

A 220-acre oasis...the only views are tree-covered mountains, and the only sounds are birds singing. One of the region's best secrets, hidden in the heart of the most populous state in the country.

The Magazine Antiques, July 2005

Pleasant Days: "A millionaire's dream castle." by Judith B. Tankard.

Star Ledger, 2005

Greenwood is a serene oasis in an urbanized modern world.

Landscape Architecture Magazine, September 2004

Greenwood is a living preservation lab where visitors can observe the thorny trash of bringing an historic landscape back to life.

The New York Times, May 13, 2004

The gardens were terraced down the hill, with 14 fountains amid the formal beds of perennials and roses, two croquet lawns, wide concrete staircases leading from one level to another, paths of smooth concrete near the house...There are secluded getaways, like the stone Summer House beneath tall horse chestnuts, or the teahouse, a little stone tower set into the hill.

The New York Times, 2004

Greenwood - a jewel in the moss.

The Star-Ledger, December 1, 2003
