Landscape designer Andrew Grossman’s Seekonk, Massachusetts gardens, which border the Martin Wildlife Refuge and the Runnins River, showcase a wide variety of perennials, shrubs, and grasses. The property includes a blue-and-white garden, a hot colored garden with a checkerboard thyme patio, a cottage garden planted with roses and other old-fashioned favorites, and a rustic pond surrounded by bog plantings. There is also a cutting garden currently planted with tea roses and dinner plate dahlias. Andrew’s garden will be open on Saturday, June 18, from 10 – 4 as part of the Garden Conservancy’s Open Days schedule, along with three additional gardens in nearby Kent County, Rhode Island. For a complete description, visit http://www.gardenconservancy.org/opendays/open-days-schedule/openday/390-east-greenwich-area-open-day. Admission is $5 per garden, or $25 for all six gardens open on this date. Discounted ticket booklets can be purchased on June 18 at each participating private garden or at Tranquil Lake Nursery, 45 River Street, Rehoboth, Massachusetts.
