Lenox Garden Club Tour---July 11

You and your club's members are cordially invited to join us on Saturday, July 11, 2009
in the historic southern Berkshire towns of Sheffield and Ashley Falls MA to visit 7 distinct and distinctive properties on The Lenox Garden Club's 19th annual tour of gardens and houses on Saturday, July 11,2009.

You'll visit a sculptor's studio set in the pastures of an old dairy farm; a former marble quarry, where a pine-lined approach, populated by
stone deer, leads to a lake; a site where romance reigns over logic for a transplanted Californian who has created lush, foliage-rich gardens
where she spends every waking hour of the Berkshire summer; and a property edged by a long, sophisticated  perennial border, where the
brick Federal house is sheltered by significant old trees. At the end of a quiet country road, borders of unusual plant material line tranquil pathways leading to a dramatic waterfall and koi pond. At their secluded property, two architects  have used natural changes in elevation to create gardens that echo the architecture of their house, while another owner has created a fantasy property constructed from the remains of a  1737 grist mill.


Please call (413.637.0451) if you have questions or would like a supply
of the printed brochures, and thank you very much.
