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. Explore the Lyman Estate Greenhouses and 37-acre property on this interdisciplinary walk and discussion on October 5 at 10:30 am. Delve into the history of greenhouses and current plant nursery practices, and examine their historical and contemporary influences on naturalistic landscapes. Learn various ways to apply the visual sophistication of grand estates to your own property, using native plants. This program will also reference Native Plant Trust’s native plant nursery, Nasami Farm. $30 for NPT members, $36 nonmembers.
