Below is a list of what’s planted, where and when. All of these lilacs are planted in perimeter gardens which are currently accessible by foot, and partially accessible by wheels. The future goal we are working towards is to make all of these lilacs accessible by wheelchair-users.

We purchased many of our lilacs from Kings Tree Farm in West Boxford. Richard is the owner/lilac expert. He has over fifty varieties to choose from. He also welcomes visitors to smell the lilacs, at his farm, free-of-charge. He’s open Saturday and Sunday from 8am – 5pm.
Moving forward with a listening heart,
vision, inquiry, and action,
