A Visit to the Garden of Jane Garmey exclusively for HHG members
June 20 10:30 am - 12:00 pm
We invite our members to join us on an exclusive visit to the private gardens of Jane Garmey followed by lunch in the barn at Hollister House Garden.
An idiosyncratic garden designed by and belonging to garden writer Jane Garmey, whose most recent book is City Green:The Public Gardens of New York. The garden, which surrounds an 1827 house, has evolved gradually over the past eighteen years and is fronted by huge maple trees and bordered by traditional stone walls. Full of structure, its main features are a narrow water rill framed by a high hornbeam hedge; two long beds, planted for drama and height with shrubs, perennials, grasses, and annuals; an enclosed kitchen/picking garden intersected by brick paths, a terrace filled with container plants that opens onto a formal boxwood gravel parterre; and a birdhouse village that floats above a glade of giant Petasites japonicus.
This event is exclusively for Hollister House Garden Circle of Friends members and is limited to 25 guests.
Directions to the garden will be included in your confirmation email.
Complimentary for HHG members at the Sponsor, Sustainer and Garden Angel level. Please call the garden office (860-868-2200) for reservations and directions.
All other membership levels $45 per person.
