Saturday, August 6, 11:00 am – 12:30 pm – Digging Deeper: The Low Maintenance Garden

by

While many people admire the “English garden look,” the almost daily care such plantings require can be daunting. By judiciously selecting and grouping shrubs, perennials, and a smattering of annuals, however, it is possible to create a low-maintenance version of this classic style. Landscape Designer Andrew Grossman will teach you how to easily re-create the look at your own home as we tour the newest addition to his Seekonk property, a swimming pool garden brimming with lush plantings and summer color. The program is sponsored by The Garden Conservancy on August 6 from 11 – 12:30, and is $30 for Conservancy members, $40 for non members. For more information, please contact the Garden Conservancy by telephone 845.424.6500, M-F, 9-5 Eastern, or email events@gardenconservancy.org.   Register online at https://www.gardenconservancy.org/open-days/open-days-schedule/digging-deeper-the-low-maintenance-garden

by

Have you ever wanted to take a tour of Heritage Museums & Gardens in Sandwich after hours, without the crowds, and with a glass of wine in hand? If so, then you won’t want to miss our Wine & Walk Exhibit Tours!

In this program, Assistant Curator, Amanda Wastrom, will lead a small group on a tour of this season’s outdoor art installation, Treasured Trash, after regular visiting hours. Start with a glass of wine and a light snack before striking out on a walking tour of the artworks in their beautiful garden settings. Along the way, Amanda will share fascinating insights about each piece and the artist who created it that you can’t get from just reading the labels. Refreshment refills will be available throughout the tour.  Program registration includes wine and light snack. Spots are extremely limited for this rare opportunity, so reserve your place today! Advance registration required.

Please note: This is an adult walking tour and will cover about 1.25 miles on various terrain. In the event of severe inclement weather, this program will move to the rain date, Thursday, August 4, from 5:00-7:30 pm.

Program fees fund Heritage’s mission to inspire people of all ages to explore, discover, and learn together. Thank you for your support. Program Registration Fee: $45 Members, $50 Non-Members. Register at www.heritagemuseumsandgardens.org
