This Beautiful 54-Acre Botanical Garden In New Jersey Is A Sight To Be Seen

New Jersey is home to a significant amount of greenery, from our farm fields to the evergreens in our Pinelands. Perhaps the prettiest greenery of all is the gorgeous gardens that are scattered around our state. We have several stunners but one stands out for its fascinating history…

Deep Cut Gardens is located in Middletown and is actually part of the Monmouth County Park System.

The 54-acre garden is open from 8 a.m. - dusk, year-round.

Dedicated to the home gardener, you'll find a variety of plants, flowers, trees and shrubs to inspire you.

The greenhouses are always a delight, filled with tropical plants, cacti and more.

Their renovated Parterre features 52 varieties of roses with over 180 bushes.

A favorite among humans, Monarch Butterflies love these gardens, as well.

You can easily spend an entire day here, exploring the grounds.

And you'll find plenty of places to sit, relax, and take everything in. You may be surprised to learn that the grounds were once the private estate of mob boss, Vito Genovese.

He also had a home on the property, but it mysteriously burned down a few weeks after he fled to Naples, Italy to avoid indictment.

Now, the gardens are free for anyone to enjoy and offer unique programs and activities.

Families will love the “Garden Safari Backpacks.” Each includes supplies to help you discover new ways of seeing the living and non-living features of the gardens. They are free to use, you’ll just need to leave your license with the docent. There are also special events. There’s Iris Day in May, a special Christmas Eve Tour, and plenty more. Expect demonstrations, displays, and family-friendly activities. Visit the gardens at 152 Red Hill Road, Middletown.
