The Garden State In Bloom

Take an armchair tour of some splendid gardens in our state and add them to your itinerary this spring and summer!

Join professional photographer and publisher Walter Choroszewski as he retraces the path taken in creating his award-winning book, The Garden State in Bloom, and showcases the beautiful public gardens of New Jersey. 

Celebrating the 30th anniversary of the book, Choroszewski will present colorful photographs and historical information about his favorite public gardens here in our Garden State.

Walter Choroszewski is a well-known New Jersey photographer whose images were the inspiration for the iconic first state tourism campaign: NEW JERSEY & You Perfect Together!  Mr. Choroszewski has been a leading advocate of Jersey pride since 1980, when he was commissioned to photograph the state for a book project. The resulting book, New Jersey, a Scenic Discovery, launched his photographic career, as well as his link to the Garden State. He has since published 18 books of photography and numerous wall calendars about our state and region. In addition to photography, Walter is also an award-winning graphic designer of books and calendars.

For over 40 years, Walter has promoted New Jersey through public speaking. He has expanded his range of topics and maintains a very active lecture schedule presenting over 200 programs annually to libraries, schools, organizations and senior communities.

The program is open to all and no registration is required.

It is made possible with the support of the Friends of the Livingston Public Library.
