The annual tour of the Hidden Gardens of Beacon Hill celebrates a long tradition of urban gardening. From its first garden tour in 1928 when the club was founded, members have opened their gardens on the third Thursday of May. This year, members of the Beacon Hill Garden Club are excited to bring our hidden gardens to you. Seven enchanting gardens will be featured in a film created this May. Our virtual tour will offer a new lens on the Hidden Gardens of Beacon Hill which will be fresh, beautiful and inspiring.

Tuesday, June 15, 1:00 pm – 2:30 pm – Garden Bed Maintenance

June 5, 2021 by Boston Flora

Need a little help with your garden beds? Join Polly Hill Arboretum Grounds Manager/Arborist Ian Jochems to learn how we maintain our garden beds at different times of the year. Ian will demonstrate how we cut bed edges, different weeding strategies, and how we make and use a variety of mulches. We will also cover some basic tool uses and plant maintenance. There will be a chance to try out tools and ask questions.

This class will be held in person on June 15 at 1 pm at the Arboretum, 795 State Road in West Tisbury. Class sizes are limited to help prevent the spread of COVID-19, and allow for social distancing. Registration is required. $15 for PHA members, $30 for nonmembers.
