  • Wednesday, September 16 – Sunday, September 20 – New England Gardens in Early Fall

    Masses of blue and gold daisies set New England gardens aglow in September.  Flowering grasses, drifts of asters, heleniums, boltonias, Japanese anemones, and sedums contrast with the luxuriant growth of tropicals.  Gardens wake up after the late August lull as the long, golden days of fall begin New England’s best season.  Horticulture Magazine’s  five-day tour, led by Horticulture’s Nan Sinton, will bring you to private gardens known for their fall beauty.  From coastal gems in Little Compton, Rhode Island to secret gardens in Vermont and a chance to learn from the masters when you visit with Wayne Winterrowd and Joe Eck at their remarkable country garden, North Hill, you’ll immerse ourselves in the best of fall in New England.

    Space is limited.
