  • 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.

  • Saturday, March 14, 1 pm – Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd: Our Life in Gardens

    Join renowned garden designers Joe Eck and Wayne Winterrowd for an entertaining, fascinating, and highly personal account of over 30 years of experience in the making of North Hill, which garden historian Mac Griswold has called one of the ten best private gardens in North America.  This lecture is both a biography of a mature garden and the autobiography of a relationship, but it also includes valuable information on garden design and on the cultivation of rare and unusual plants. The lecture will be followed by a book signing of their third and unexpectedly moving latest book written together, Our Life in Gardens, which contains much sound information about plants and garden design.  There are sections about particular plants – roses and lilacs, snowdrops and cyclamen, and vegetables.  There are also chapters on the development of their garden over time and the dark issue that weighs more and more on the authors: its eventual decline and demise.  Tower Hill Members $9, Non-Members $10.  Register at www.towerhillbg.org.
