Duke Gardens

Duke Gardens in Somerset County, New Jersey, were among the most significant glass house collections in America. Created by Doris Duke, they were larger than the New York Botanical Garden's Enid A. Haupt Conservatory, and were open to the public from 1964. They were closed by the Doris Duke Charitab

le Foundation on or before May 25, 2008, and the plant material was donated to public gardens throughout the United States. After the restructuring, parts of the garden remained onsite as part of the Duke Farms, which allows access to over 1,000 acres to visitors and researchers.
