Leonard J. Buck Garden, Botanical garden in Far Hills, New Jersey.
The Leonard J. Buck Garden extends across 33 acres in a wooded stream valley, featuring alpine gardens, woodland paths, and natural rock formations.
Geologist Leonard J. Buck collaborated with landscape architect Zenon Schreiber in the late 1930s to transform a glacial valley into planned garden spaces.
The garden represents mid-twentieth century naturalistic design principles through its integration of native and exotic plants within natural geological formations.
Visitors can explore 2.5 miles of gravel paths from Monday to Friday between 10am and 4pm, with a suggested donation of 3 dollars for adults.
The garden contains twelve distinct rock outcroppings that create specific microclimates, supporting different plant species throughout the changing seasons.
