Cape Shore Gardens

About Cape Shore Gardens

Middle Township lies across the waist of the Cape May peninsula, with Delaware Bay on one flank and the back-bay salt marshes on the other, and its yards seem to feel both at once. Cape Shore Gardens tends grass here, where spring blows in on a sea breeze and the sandy ground drinks rain almost as fast as it falls. Around Cape May Court House and along the quieter roads toward the bay, a well-kept lawn is a small green answer to all that open sky. The work is mowing, edging and keeping turf even across the drawn-out shore summer, while traffic streams down the Parkway and the light lingers golden into the evening. A neat yard at day's end, smelling of cut grass and salt, is the whole point.
