Saturday, July 30, 2:00 pm – Digging Deeper: A Native Meadow on Wononskopomuc Lake

The Garden Conservancy will host a session on Digging Deeper: A Native Meadow on Wononskopomuc Lake, the Montgomery-Glazer Property, with Larry Weaner on Saturday, July 30 beginning at 2 pm.  This property in the Berkshires is located at 120 Millerton Road in Lakeville, CT. Once just barren turf, this lakeside property now features a diverse native meadow in full floral display, embodying the aesthetic and ecological impact that can be created on even a modestly sized property. Explore this site with acclaimed landscape designer Larry Weaner, and discuss his design process – combining ecological restoration with traditions of fine garden design – presented in his new book Garden Revolutions: How Our Landscapes Can Be a Source of Environmental Change (Timber Press, May 2016). A book signing will be held afterwards. $15 for members of the Garden Conservancy, $20 for nonmembers. Your registration includes Open Days admission to this garden destination—a $7 value. The Montgomery-Glazer Property will be open to general Open Days visitors on this date from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To register, visit https://www.gardenconservancy.org/events/all-events/digging-deeper-a-native-meadow-on-wononskopomuc-lake-the-montgomery-glazer-property-with-larry-weaner  For more information, call the Garden Conservancy’s Open Days at 845-424-6502.
