Travel to Little Compton, RI, for an owner-led tour of the unique Sakonnet Garden. Lunch will be at Carolyn’s Sakonnet Vineyard, followed by a winery tour and tastings of their award-winning wines.
Sakonnet is a secret garden embedded within a native coastal fields landscape. At the diminutive scale of a cottage garden, it is conceived as an intimate place to explore, with multiple paths leading one onward to unexpected experiences. Each outdoor room reflects the owner’s ongoing experiments with lighting, space, color mixing, collecting and growing wonderful plants.
Sakonnet Vineyard’s microclimate and soil conditions resemble the maritime climate of northern France, allowing for production of some of New England’s most popular and distinctive wines. The trip is sponsored by Tower Hill Botanic Garden, and you may register online at www.towerhillbg.org. THBG Member $125, Non-member $140, includes bus transportation, guided tour of garden, lunch, and winery tour and tastings.
