Today we’re off to New Jersey to visit Sini’s garden.
I’m SO JEALOUS of this
greenhouse! What a perfect escape from a snowy, cold winter to have a little greenhouse full of green growing things!
The same greenhouse in the summer, with
tomatoes growing inside. Simple greenhouses can be useful in the summer as well as the winter, helping heat-loving plants thrive in cool-summer climates.
It’s hard to decide which is more beautiful—the sun lighting up the sky or the abundant blooms on the
saucer magnolia (
Magnolia ×
soulangeana, Zones 4–9).
A mature
redbud (
Cercis canadensis, Zones 4–9) covered with its iconic magenta
spring blooms. This tree, native to eastern North America, is not only beautiful in the garden, but its edible flowers are beautiful scattered over a salad.
A spring scene of what looks to be the classic
Rhododendron ‘PJM’ (Zones 4–8), which is one of the most beautiful and most easily grown of the rhododendrons.
Bearded irises (
Iris hybrids, Zones 3–9) come in a mind-boggling array of colors and patterns, but it is hard to beat this classic, rich blue.
HOW CUTE! Baby chicks hanging out with some attentive hens.
Incredible fall color from a
Japanese maple (
Acer palmatum, Zones 5–9)
The leaves may be even more beautiful forming a carpet of scarlet on the ground.

Sini - I enjoyed all of the scenes from your garden. Thank you for sharing!
New Jersey "The Garden State" living up to it's name!
Very pretty garden and photos!
As a former long time resident of the Garden State who missed her gardens there every day, these photos brought back a flood of memories and a bit of melancholy. I know that most people aren't aware of just how beautiful most of New Jersey is - and how spectacular sunsets there can be, particularly in the winter. Thank you for bringing me "home" for a little while!
Great mix of pictures. I can't wait for my very young Redbud to put on a show like yours! Just when I think I don't really want a greenhouse, I see one like yours, and, maybe, I really do want one! Thanks, and compliments to the gardener!
Thanks for sharing. Great photos!
Sini, Thank you so much for sharing such a beautiful garden. Your trees and shrubs are so gorgeous, not to mention your chicks. :-)
