The next stop 🛑 was in Ringwood, New Jersey, to see the lovely state gardens. Hadn’t been in the summer in decades! If you recall this is the spot where the 🎅 Christmas open house was held .

But what a feast for the eyes this summer version brings. Check it out..

And they even had a meadow just like me!

And the hosta garden is the most varied I’ve ever seen. Since these are a deer favorite 6 foot fencing surround these beauties.

In the butterfly garden captured two on film ..

And will end with this rather uniquely formed tree..

What a lovely and relaxing visit..
