Massachusetts Horticultural Society Garden Keeper Beth Gray-Nix will discuss the basics of Italianate Gardens on Saturday, September 12 in the Parkman Room of Elm Bank, 900 Washington Street in Wellesley – their history and their composition. Get your hands dirty as you work in the garden along with Beth. Ask your questions and discover why this garden is a destination.
Beth Gray-Nix is a retired Occupational Therapist. A favorite retirement gift was registration for the Master Gardener class of 2009. Her first volunteer role at Mass Hort was in Weezie’s Children’s Garden. In 2010, Beth became the first Garden Keeper for Mass Hort’s Italianate Garden, site of many family celebrations. Beth’s work in the garden maintains the Italianate as a picturesque destination garden. Beth recently received her WEED certification from Randy Protask.
