Monday, September 16, 10:00 am – 12:00 noon – Trails and Sails: The Historic Gardens of Fletcher Steele


Fletcher Steele is recognized as one of the most influential landscape architects of the early twentieth century.  For 60 years Steele practiced landscape architecture as a fine art, designing nearly 700 gardens in his lifetime.  The garden at Rolling Ridge was the first of his creations.

Join us at the Rolling Ridge Retreat and Conference Center on September 16 for a tour of this historic garden. Although the fountain is no longer in operation and the grounds are being restored, you will discover the visionary genius of Steele as we walk the grounds and appreciate the natural beauty of this 38 acre peninsula along Lake Cochichewick.

The tour will also include the outdoor sculptures of Mico Kaufman, whose public works may be found at Tewksbury, Lowell, and now at Rolling Ridge.

There is no fee for the tour of the grounds, although your generous donation is appreciated to help support the mission and ministry of Rolling Ridge. Register at www.rollingridge.org
