Spring’s first Galanthus has bloomed! Delicate white flowers nod down in a woodsy area
Small, yellow Jasminum nudiflorum /winter jasmine flowers cascade down from a roof. The stems are bare- hence the species name nudiflorum meaning flowers before leaves

GFS was founded in 1992 by Seward Johnson on the former New Jersey State Fairgrounds to be a place where contemporary sculpture could be accessible to all. While we started with just 15 acres and 15 pieces of art, we’ve grown to have over 300 sculptures across 42 ever changing acres.
