Clark Gardens in Stow, Massachusetts has been in development for over 30 years. It started serendipitously with a chance encounter at a parent teacher school event, held during the owners’ first winter in Stow, with a local landscape architect, Yurich Fenigsen-Zieba. “When he stated he was a landscape architect, I explained to him my wish to have a waterfall built and the following summer he built a beautiful waterfall with large boulders previously removed from the foundation of our house. And thus began a collaboration which continues to this day.” Over the 30 years, many garden “rooms” have been created culminating with the “woodland garden” which has been developing over the last three years and occupies the last section of the two acres of gardens and lawn available. There has never been a formal “plan” to the gardens. This Garden Conservancy event takes place May 10 from 10 – 4, $10 for nonmembers, $5 for Conservancy members.
