Your day kicks off with a visit to Earth Tones, a native plant nursery that offers grasses, ferns, perennials, shrubs, and trees that are native to New England. After a tour of the nursery, you’ll enjoy a workshop on how to save seeds from native plants and how to sow and grow them.
Then, enjoy lunch at Marketplace Kitchen, in the heart of town, before a trip to the Gardens of Gertrude Jekyll. Ms. Jekyll had a profound influence on modern garden design and is widely considered the greatest gardener of the 20th century, with several hundred gardens designed all over the world.
Nancy DuBrule-Clemente will guide us through these spectacular spaces.
