An extreme transformation was made turning 44,200 square feet, of grassy underused lawn space into the beginnings of a magnificent four-season display perennial garden with the expertise of English garden designer and horticulturist, Adrian Bloom. The community took part in a rare opportunity to work alongside famous English garden designer and horticulturist Adrian Bloom as he worked his magic to a new display garden for the Massachusetts Horticultural Society at Elm Bank in Wellesley.

Adrian Bloom’s largest to date large-scale perennial demonstration and display garden build took place – covering 1.01 acres with the help of hundreds of volunteers and thousands of donated plants!

The new garden contains a mixture of perennials, trees, and shrubs with a specific focus for creating functional and beautiful residential landscapes; all plants featured promise to grow to a mature height under 30’ tall and have been selected for four season enjoyment and sustainability.
