What state is nicknamed 'The Garden State'?
Correct answer: New Jersey
Zuko
jersey is the third most expensive state to live in next to california and hawaii, i grew up in south jersey and the pizza, bagels, and produce are by far the best, not to mention philly being so close for cheesesteaks
danielsoma100305
that's home and believe me you want the food from South Jersey (where I am from) and Philadelphia

The Garden State was and still does produce many fruits and vegetables. Rolling farms and fresh air.

I love New Jersey. I grew up in Pittsburgh but went to the Jersey Shores for vacations!! You are right. Great food and loved the boardwalks
ScaryLevel44555
I believe it was named this because of the number of small farms
kitkat

Many parts of NJ beautiful with small farms, lots of produce markets, etc. but you have to leave turnpike to appreciate the "real" Jersey.

If it's the Garden State, then why is it the Golden State? So densely populated, how could there be much room for gardens? And where does "golden" fit in? Nah, gimme North Carolina.

Zuko, I went to Philadelphia for about 3 weeks and saw the Phillies play the Mets and I love those Philadelphia cheesesteaks. Big sandwiches!

Proud lifelong Jersey resident ! Born in North Jersey and currently live in South Jersey and yes the Garden State sure is a great food state ! The best tomatoes, corn, pizza, bagels, blueberries so many good things. Also while we are certainly densely populated there is still room for much natural land especially in our beautiful Pine Barrens !

My mom (who's b-day was yesterday & would've been 78❤️) was from Morristown! That was until she met my dad (army, stationed in NJ), got married & they moved to CO. Took quite a few years for my sisters & I to teach her that there was no 'R' in wash... 🤣

Zuko, I’m from PA, and grew up on sweet Jersey corn, tomatoes and my favorite sweet Jersey blueberries. I always shop for blueberries from here. There’s something in the sandy soil that makes their produce so great!

grew up in OCEAN CITY. Beautiful town and the best boardwalk. And that's not why it's called the Garden State.

Zuko, Agreed! Grew up in " delco" Upper Darby. 69th st was walking distance from my home. My husband and our son still reside in delco. Most places in delco are drastically different. It's just not the same anymore. Places where Id go as an early teenager is completely different bars that I want to are close down now. It's sad but Im proud to have lived in delco ( Delaware County PA) born and raised in the best part of delco my hometown of UPPER DARBY
