My name is Clare Oliva, and I live and garden in northern New Jersey. Photos of my garden have previously been featured on Garden Photo of the Day (Clare’s Garden in New Jersey Day 1 of 2). Since the spring garden was glorious this year, I thought I would share some pictures.
Brightly colored tulips are a feast for the eyes.
The brilliantly colored petals of tulips are one of the iconic images of spring.

Have photos to share? We’d love to see your garden, a particular collection of plants you love, or a wonderful garden you had the chance to visit!
To submit, send 5-10 photos to gpod@taunton.com along with some information about the plants in the pictures and where you took the photos. We’d love to hear where you are located, how long you’ve been gardening, successes you are proud of, failures you learned from, hopes for the future, favorite plants, or funny stories from your garden.
If you want to send photos in separate emails to the GPOD email box that is just fine.

Wow! Beautiful gardens!
Thank you, PattyLouise!
Thank you, PattyLouise!
Wow, that phlox is out of this world!
Thanks! Each color started out with only 3 small plants about 3 or 4 years ago. I think the phlox really like the good drainage on those terraces (along with full sun).
Oh wow you’ve created your very own botanical garden! Bravo!
Thank you, Pam. My husband and I have been working on this garden since 2005. As with all gardens, it continues to be a work in progress!
Clare - your beautiful garden has made me yearn for my gardens in Franklin Lakes, NJ where I gardened for 20 years before my husband and I lost our jobs and had to sell our home and move. I cried as we drove away. NJ is a wonderful place to plant - it's not called the Garden State for nothing! Thanks for sharing your lovely place.
Thank you for that feedback! We're in Upper Saddle River, which is not too far from Franklin Lakes. Agreed regarding New Jersey being a wonderful state for gardening. So sorry you had to leave your beautiful garden and I hope you were able to start a new garden at your new home.
Not sure if the gorgeous cherry tree in one of the pics on this link is still there, but it would still be a good look for those who love them. https://www.finegardening.com/article/clares-garden-in-new-jersey-day-1-of-2
We still have that beautiful cherry tree, but, unfortunately, it's starting to decline. With the help of a local arborist, we've been keeping it going but are trying to brace ourselves for its eventual loss. So glad we have pictures from its prime to remember it by!
Oh wow, my favorite view of your garden is "Looking down from the deck" love those urns and the cat statues- so cool.
Your garden is spectacular!
Thank you, Sue. You're very observant! We love cats and have cat statues all around the garden.
