Fun Fact:> With more than 30 acres of beautiful flowers, ferns, lawns, and ponds, Leaming’s Run in rural Swainton, New Jersey, is the largest annual garden in the United States. It is divided into 25 distinctive gardens, each with a different theme, such as the bamboo garden, shade garden, and colonial farm garden. The garden is named after whaler Thomas Leaming, who built his home—which still stands today—there in 1706.
