New Jersey is home to so many magical places, some even start to dip into the realm of the supernatural. I’ve already covered an enchanting fairy trail (a great hike with kids), but I’ve found something equally magical that’s perfect for the winter months.
Bear Creek Herbary is a gift and garden center in Howell, New Jersey.
Facebook/Bear Creek Herbary More than a shop, it is a destination with several unique features. There are multiple areas to explore including outdoor gardens with waterfalls, a barn (built in one day), greenhouse and more. Kids love the rabbits and chicken coop.
It’s a simply stunning spot to see and absolutely free to visit.

Locals love it. It’s a best seller, along with all sorts of creative gifts. Tea lovers will enjoy the tea house, with gourmet teas, nut butters and more.
Perhaps most enchanting is the indoor fairy garden.
