Often, gardeners think they must choose between archetypes of the “wild, native plant garden” and the “formal, classic garden,” but there are ecologically friendly ways to create an elegant effect. Utilizing the garden and extensive land at the Eustis Estate in Milton, this interdisciplinary walk and discussion on Friday, September 14 from 1:30 – 3:30 delves into historic landscape design and plantings and teaches participants different ways to replicate the visual sophistication of these gardens using native plants. The field trip is co-sponsored by the New England Wild Flower Society and by Historic New England. $24 for sponsor members, $28 for nonmembers. Register online at www.newenglandwild.org.
