At the end of March we drove to NJ Botanical Gardens – Skylands. Not much in bloom yet but it was a lovely day.

I added cobblestones using AI in the first one.

A grand stone mansion surrounded by bare trees and greenery, with a cobblestone pathway leading to its entrance under a blue sky with some clouds.

A day trip to New Jersey Botanical Garden at Skylands in August. I replaced the sky and changed the road to a dirt one in the first photograph.

Skylands Manor is charming. I have not been able to see inside yet. It is often closed for private events.

The New Jersey Botanical Gardens at Skylands has a mansion and formal gardens. It is in Passaic County. I like going there because it is lovely and an easy place to walk around and it is very pretty.
