Why do they call New Jersey the "Garden State?"

When we were kids we called it "The Gabage State"
But then someone once said calling California "The Golden State" was a master stroke of marketing,
golden HELL; just look at the hills, thats not golden, its parched dead grass!

Its been awhile since you have been out here. The climate has changed.
It rained a few days ago. Too many swimming pools with too many irrigated
lawns. Also many new reservoirs and lakes.
