Sayen Gardens is located in Hamilton Twp., NJ., in the "Heart" of Hamilton Square.  It consists of 27 acres of botantical gardens, paths, a lake, creek and Sayen House. Located on the corner of Mercer Street and Hughs Drive, this part of the garden is a recent addition within the past 6-7 years.  Weddings are performed at this Gazebo and it provides a shady spot for resting during a long walk.   The paths lead from the Gazebo to the Bridge and a creek that runs thru the property.   There are plenty of places to stop and enjoy the scenery or have a picnic, read a book, meditate, and take photos.   The water fountain is a nice addition to the park on those warm days, the double one is great for adults and the little ones.       The Park Entrance leads to the older part of Sayen Gardens.  ... 10/01/2008
