Branch Brook Park
Went to see the cherry tree blossoms today, 4/1/24, and with the drizzle, the park was so lush looking. I got there around 10 am, and the park was pretty much empty so there were plenty of parking spaces. The blossoms have not reached peak bloom so there is still time to view if you catch my review in time.
Rutgers Gardens
This place is a short ride from my job and I finally got the chance to go to the gardens.
We started with the bamboo forest which from the moment you stepped into it you could feel a refreshing temperature change. The coolness was welcomed. As we walked around we came across a creek which we crossed over. Closed shoes are best in this area and be aware of ticks.
The flower gardens were buzzing with different types of bees in addition to numerous types of butterflies. A great place to take pictures. And the lily pond delighted us with the sound of frogs grunting at us.
If walking is an issue, they have numerous benches around the garden where you can take a break, many of them are in the shade.
Worth a stop if you are in the neighborhood and all you need is an hour, more is better, to appreciate this oasis.
