Card to Culture

Since 2011, we’ve offered public access to our wheelchair-accessible gardens free-of-charge. We’ve continued this approach, to encourage all to enjoy:

seeing and smelling the bulbs, lilacs, roses, lilies…

picking and eating organic fruits and veggies…

sitting, walking, or wheeling through the gardens at their own pace

Now, in 2024, we are participating in the Mass Cultural Council’s Card to Culture Program. This will help introduce our offering to a wider audience. We are excited to welcome more diverse guests to our programs, some of whom may become volunteers, donors, or future staff/leaders.

ABOUT OUR NEW TREE: SPRUCE NORWAY GOLD DRIFT

Our Ornamental Tree & Shrub Garden features over 30 rose shrubs, a White Wisteria Tree, a Golden Rain Tree, a Katsura Tree, and now… 6 evergreen conifer trees, including the new Norway Spruce ‘Gold Drift’. This is planted in the center of the ornamental garden. Why is it a perfect plant for the small space?
1. SIZE: It’s expected to grow 7′ tall and wide.
2. CONTRAST: This evergreen tree will offer year-round interest in a garden featuring mostly deciduous shrubs and trees.
3. COLOR: WOW! The yellow needles on this plant in spring are popping! The needles are green in winter.
4. FORM: The weeping branches are graceful and a tad sorrowful ~ matching with the theme of the “Broken Heart Patio.”
5. TEXTURE: The fine and soft texture invites guests to touch and feel.
