Over the course of a century starting in the early 1900s, two idiosyncratic families, the Days and the Blanchards, invested in a major effort to turn Greenwood Gardens, a 28-acre public garden in Short Hills, NJ into an enchanted hideaway, graced with winding paths, terraced gardens, woodlands, grottoes, fountains, and Arts and Crafts follies.  Join the Executive Director of Greenwood Gardens, Abby O’Neill, as she illustrates how the families’ varied styles made their mark. On this local property creating a peaceful haven where the public can connect with nature and the past.

Abby O’Neill was named Executive Director of Greenwood Gardens in September of 2017. She is responsible for directing the efforts of a twelve person staff to fulfill the organization’s mission of connecting people with nature and the arts in a historic garden oasis. Located in Short Hills, New Jersey, Greenwood is a 28-acre former private estate that opened to the public in 2013 and welcomes thousands of visitors each year between May and November. Greenwood offers visitors an exceptional experience through engaging tours, programs, and special events. NJ Family magazine voted Greenwood “the Prettiest Garden in New Jersey” in 2022.
