The Chestnut Hill Garden Club’s Centennial Garden Tour will take place on Saturday, June 6 from 12 noon – 4:30 pm, rain or shine. All gardens are located in the Chestnut Hill Historic District and feature many older estate gardens redesigned by some of today’s well-known landscape architects. A lovely meandering walk along quiet streets in the district will provide access to all the gardens. Your tour will end at an historic property, with a large garden of extensive rooms.
“The front walk is framed by wisteria and acers which leads to the ‘New Dawn’ rose room bordered with eleven trellises, inspired by those in the Bois de Boulogne. There are espaliered fruit trees surrounding the garden of white and purple carrots, heirloom mustard greens and various chicories.”
Advance tickets are available on line by clicking HERE. Day of tour tickets are $40 and are available at First Church of Chestnut Hill, 26 Suffolk Road in Chestnut Hill. For more information, contact carolyn.thayer.ross@comcast.net. Image from www.chestnuthillgardenclub.org.
