PROJECT OVERVIEW
REHABILITATING THE HISTORIC GARDENS AT THE HERMITAGE
Take one neglected garden on a historic property, mix with an energetic group of Rutgers Master Gardeners, and what do you get? 
A rehabilitation of a fabulous Victorian garden! Here
are some snapshots so you can follow the progress of the rehabilitation
of the herb/perennial gardens at The Hermitage, a National Historic
Landmark in Ho-Ho-Kus, New Jersey. Check back to see what is being
planted based on research of the family that lived at The Hermitage including notes from the owners circa 1880 that list flowers and herbs grown there!
