SADDLE RIVER, NJ- In conjunction with Bergen Health & Life Magazine, Jacobsen
Landscape Design and Construction will be hosting the magazine's inaugural
Gardens of Bergen Tour at its new Landscape Gallery in Saddle River. The
event takes place June 12, 2011.
Participants in the Tour will join Bergen Health & Life Editor-in-Chief Jennifer
Vreeland to tour some of the most prestigious residential gardens in Bergen County.
As the highlight of the event, Jacobsen Landscape will host a post-Tour
reception at its Landscape Gallery, located in Barnstable Court in Saddle
River, including special presentations by area artists, designers and
musicians.
In addition to a Bergen County garden designed by Jacobsen
Landscape, the tour will stop at gardens designed by fellow sponsors, Arapahoe

is just one of the many community events we facilitate by opening our doors to
our community," says Jacobsen Landscape founder and owner Glenn
