Visitors enjoyed 8 unique New England gardens including a surprise roof-top garden of a prominent local business. June blooms featuring roses, peonies, bleeding hearts, irises, and wisteria-clad pergolas blend in well with shady woodland gardens of hostas, native wildflowers, and carpets of ferns and moss. Water features were seen on this garden tour - from koi fishponds to a fishing ladder that encourages fish to swim upstream. Seasonal vegetable and cutting gardens were highlights, enclosed in a variety of square foot features.
Patio and fire pit spaces were surprises that were tucked away to enjoy the gardens day and night. Guests ventured through gardens, weaved along paths to some fun features such as a chicken coop turned into a resting spot, and a gaggle of runner ducks excited to meet them. For the rock lovers, a cascading riverbed runs from top to bottom in one of the gardens.
