Please join us beginning at 9:00 a.m. for a continental breakfast in the James Crockett Memorial Garden. At 9:30 a.m., we'll step into the Bressingham Garden for a hands-on look at the garden, led by its designer. Adrian will talk about the garden's underlying design principles and the choice of specific materials, including 'hardscape' items. He'll discuss his choices of color and texture. Now that the garden is entering its fourth season, he'll also talk about changes to the garden and how the New England climate comes into play. All of this will be interspersed with a commentary on how all of this relates to an urban or suburban homeowner's desire to create a memorable garden. Questions are encouraged.

Please plan for at least one hour for this event, which will be held rain or shine. It is limited to 40 participants and pre-registration is a must. The cost, including continental breakfast, is $45. Preference will be given to Mass Hort members, but if space remains after July 11, the cost for non-members will be $55.

To reserve a place for this event you may register online or call 617-933-4995.
