The Trustees are excited to present Andrew Keys Pepper, live and in person, on July 17 at 4 pm at Long Hill, 572 Essex Street in Beverly. Why plant the same old thing as the neighbors? Long Hill features dozens of exceptionally beautiful but inexplicably underused plants, many of which you can grow. Join Andrew Keys Pepper, author of Growing the Northeast Garden, for a presentation on old favorites at the garden and elsewhere that have fallen out of fashion, as well as newer introductions that deserve your attention.
Andrew Keys Pepper is an artist, writer, plantsman, and lifelong gardener. He is the author of two books published by Timber Press: Growing the Northeast Garden (2015) and Why Grow That When You Can Grow This?: 255 Extraordinary Alternatives to Everyday Problem Plants (2012). He received a Master of Fine Arts from San Francisco Art Institute in 2019, focusing on sculpture and photography. Prior to that, he also served as web manager at the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum in Boston.
Andrew produces and hosts the podcast Artists Looking At Animals, and created podcasts for both Fine Gardening and Horticulture magazines. His written work has appeared in This Old House magazine, Fine Gardening, and others. Though he lives outside Boston, Andrew grew up in the American South, in a family of cotton farmers, gardeners, and outdoorsmen. Andrew is trained as an organic land care professional through the Northeast Organic Farming Association.
