Today, the 1772 Salisbury Mansion and the 1838 Salisbury House in Worcester are surrounded by a large parking lot. This was not always the case. Gardens and greenhouses once graced the grounds of Stephen Salisbury III’s house. James A. Welu, Director Emeritus of the Worcester Art Museum, will give us a glimpse of the house and his many unusual plants with an illustrated talk based on photographs taken by Salisbury’s gardener around 1900. The talk will take place on Sunday, April 6 beginning at 2 pm at Tower Hill Botanic Garden, 11 French Drive, Boylston, Massachusetts. Free with admission. Sponsored by the Worcester Garden Club, Preservation Worcester, and Tower Hill Botanic Garden as part of the Lost Gardens of Worcester County project. You may register in advance at www.towerhillbg.org.
