The Garden State in the US (3,6)

I believe the answer is:

new jersey

(Other definitions for new jersey that I've seen before include "Wardrobe extension" , "what might be requirement for scruffy tramp" , "calf?" , "US state; seasonal gift?" , "Unused pullover" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
