This public garden is a New Jersey hidden gem
The Sayen House and Gardens is a hidden gem located in Mercer County offering picturesque views.
In 1912, the land was purchased by Fredrick Sayen and his wife Anne Mellon Sayen. They built their “bungalow” style home not far from the rubber mill in Hamilton Square.
The outside is designed in the Arts and Craft style, but the interior design is Victorian.
Surrounding the property is flowers and plants collected during their travels. The meditative gardens are filled with flower species from China, Japan, and England. In the spring you can find an abundance of azaleas, rhododendrons, and dogwoods. Mother's Day marks the garden's annual Azalea Festival.
But at any time of year, the gardens are picturesque featuring walking trails, gazebos, fishponds and more. Check out some of the photos from my recent visit:
