Peony's Envy is a nursery and display garden in Bernardsville, New Jersey. Peony's Envy grows one of the most extensive collections of tree, herbaceous and intersectional peonies in the United States. The gardens are laid out over an 7-acre property with trails that meander throughout the peony collections. The flowers bloom over a few weeks, each variety for 7 to 10 days. Mother nature decides what, when and for how long the bloom will last. (extracted from website)

Ticket cost:$10.00 cash please bring exact change to pay

Garden Rules to Know adapted from the website:

• Carpool - we'll meet and park in town then carpool or walk to the garden if the group would like get some steps in (they have extremely limited parking ).
• Limit visit to one hour.
• Walk only on the paths and the lawns. Do not step off into the gardens as they are very fragile.
• No photography or picnicking outside of the hours listed. (the website also says, "You are welcome to take a FEW cell phone photos to commemorate your visit. More than a few pictures? Please visit during photography hours and purchase tickets ($35)- this is enforced and has led to people being asked to leave. In order to have a nice visit, please be mindful to limit the number of photos.
• No pets or smoking anywhere on the property including the parking areas.
