The Tewksbury Historical Society will sponsor its Biennial Garden Tour
on Saturday, June 10, 10:00 am - 4:00 pm, in Tewksbury Township, rain
or shine. Six gardens located throughout the township will welcome visitors.
• A 1760 property, where the current guest cottage served as the local
blacksmith, is surrounded by several gardens showcasing peonies, irises, tulips
hydrangea, lamb ears and ivy. An English garden is surrounded by stone walls.
• Traditional European gardens were the inspiration for eight areas
around a newly constructed house. They transition into the wider landscape where
each site considers the balance between formal structure and its rural, woodland setting.
• A fully sustainable property where all soil and plants are treated
organically sits on land that was an abandoned dairy farm. The owners are a husband-
and-wife team with extensive training in the science and the design principles of
gardening, resulting in a high level of creativity.
• The South Branch of the Raritan River provides wild trout fishing on
property dating to the 1850's. Nestled among extensive old forests are stone walls
and a stone terrace with fireplace, dating to the 1930's.
• A long perennial garden is filled with blooming colors all year, self-
designed and ever changing. It sits on land once owned by a prominent architect.
• A property with both barns and gardens was created with careful
attention to detail, while using both new plants and plants handed down from the
owner's family.
