Chatting in the garden

On Thursday, June 15, my long-time blogging friend, Laurie from Notes from the Hinterland is heading south from Maine so we can meet up in person at Bedrock Gardens. We’ll tour the gardens at 10:30 a.m., share a simple lunch afterwards, and have a good old fashioned in-person conversation.

If you live in the general area and would like to join us, just let me know in the comments, and I’ll get back to you in email. The more the merrier.

Bedrock has an interesting history in that it started out as the personal garden of Jill Nooney and Bob Munger. Bob did a lot of the landscape work, and the sculptures were created by Jill. It is now a 30+ acre public garden run by The Friends of Bedrock Garden.

The entrance fee is $15 per person, but Bedrock is not charging us for the tour because we’re bloggers, and we blog, which is good for business. 🙂

Who will be the tour guide? John Forti. Many of you in this area will know John because he is currently Bedrock Garden’s Executive Director. His resume also includes being the Director of Horticulture for the Massachusetts Horticultural Society, the Curator/Director of Historic Landscapes at Strawbery Banke Museum in Portsmouth, the Director of Horticulture at Plimoth Plantation Museum, author, and his resume goes on and on.

There is plenty of parking and restrooms are available. Garden tours go on if there are sprinkles. A full blown downpour will result in our going to lunch at a local restaurant.
