Leonard J. Buck Gardens is a 33-acre public botanical garden operated by Somerset County in Far Hills. The garden began in the 1930s by geologist Leonard J. Buck, a trustee of the NY Botanical Garden. The garden is sculpted from a glacial stream valley where waterfalls once cascaded, leaving behind rock faces, outcroppings, ponds and a stream. The garden is one of the nation’s premier rock gardens, featuring native and exotic plants displayed in a naturalistic setting of woodland, streams, and rock outcroppings.
