The Waterford Foundation is offering
a tour of private gardens in the National Historic Landmark District
village of Waterford (founded in 1733). You are invited to visit
and enjoy beautiful gardens gracing the village's historic homes.
Stroll through private gardens that include a sweet replica
of an early 19th century garden memorializing a grandmother's vision,
and a secret garden that can only be reached by passing through
an old archway which once led to a community well. Also along
the way, enjoy parterre boxwood gardens, perennial flower beds,
shade and herb gardens that will delight the senses. Come be inspired
by gardens that have evolved over time around lovely old homes
that date from the early 1800s.
The
ticket includes gardens, a lecture on container gardens at the
Old School House, as well as a professionally guided garden photo-shoot
(be quick, numbers are limited for the shoot). Come gather ideas
for your own cottage garden. Gardens of Delight will be here to
help you plan your garden and to sell garden accessories and plants.
