Garden enthusiasts will get a rare chance to view four gardens around Connecticut during the Garden Conservancy‘s Open Days, according to a statement.
On Saturday, Aug. 22, guests can view “the horticultural artistry, personal style, and dedication of the garden curators.”
The gardens will include:
InSitu in Redding. Nestled in the pastoral countryside of Redding CT, this 28-acre sculpture garden is a richly composed showcase of architecture, horticulture, and sculpture with native meadows, deciduous trees, flowering plants, woodland pathways, and water features.
Maywood Gardens in Bridgewater. In Litchfield County, this private estate features many gardens like a sunken perennial garden, a formal rose garden, a woodland path, and a ledge garden with beech and dogwood trees, viburnum, rhododendrons, and more than 150 container pots.
Appledore in Washington. On the site of an old farm, this calming refuge has grown into a multi-acre informal garden with overflowing beds and meandering paths with interesting trees, shrubs, and perennials. The area is a pesticide free habitat for birds, bugs, and pollinators.
Garden of Susan and Richard Kaminski in Oxford. In New Haven County, this interesting oasis displays several gardens and a welcoming topiary. There are perennial beds, a fairy garden, a rose garden, a vegetable garden, and goldfish pond with three trains and a trolley that run around the property.
Infestations of small red and black bugs are spreading across CT. What to know
The gardens will be open from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. to registered guests. Tickets can be purchased through the Garden Conservancy.
According to a statement, the event is the only nationwide garden visiting program. “Over three decades, Open Days has welcomed more than 1.4 million visitors into thousands of inspired private landscapes—from urban rooftops to organic farms, historic estates to suburban sanctuaries—in 41 states.”
