Saturday, June 26, 10:30 am – 12:30 pm – Digging Deeper: A Small Space with a Big Feel

Join The Garden Conservancy and George and Marcia Chapman for a walk through their remarkable 37-year-old, half-acre garden on Cape Cod, in East Falmouth, on June 26 at 10:30 am. Moving purposefully through the space, these horticultural experts and generous teachers will share the specific techniques used—layering, vistas, winding paths, and obscured property lines—to create a garden with an engaging array of features that feels much larger than its actual size. Along the way there will be discussion of the hundreds of varieties of plants these collectors use with finesse. Regardless of the scale of your garden and the depth of your experience, be prepared to be inspired and take away practical ideas you can apply elsewhere. The Chapmans have worked in professional horticulture for more than 45 years, directing three retail garden centers and growing plants on fifteen acres and in three acres of greenhouses. Their garden has been featured in Cape Cod Home and Fine Gardening magazines.
