Wonderful hidden gem in the Palisades. Stop by en route to or from the beach. Great place to meditate, or simply enjoy a gorgeous garden with a wide variety of plants and flowers and swans, turtles, ducks and fish. One of my favorite places to visit and doesn't require a huge time committment. 45 minutes is plenty. There's a quaint gift shop and museum to enjoy also. Closed on Mondays and closes early 4 pm most days.
