Hear ye! Hear ye!
I invite you all to wander through some beautiful, fun and/or traditional Berkshire gardens this coming Sunday ,the 31st. (Seekonk Farm happens also to be included… ).
Here at Seekonk Farm, we have a plethora of mid to late bloomers like the tall elegant Cimicifuga ‘Hillside Black Beauty’ and the orange butterfly loving Asclepias tuberosa aka Butterflyweed, silver/green Sea Kale, red Dahlias and more. A few mauve colored poppies are still around and I’m hoping like crazy that a profuse display from my red gladioli will still be in bloom! Below it’s from a previous year when the oriental lilies were happy – not so now…

And then there are my best friends: native plants. This one is called Buttonbush and thrives in wetlands. It’s also a butterfly “attractant”.

Come and visit more gardens on 7/31 in both Williamstown and Stockbridge, MA. Very close to my heart is the Fitzpatricks’ family, ‘Hillhome’, at 9 Prospect Hill in Stockbridge. Jack just passed away last weekend and the garden will still be open to the public. “Those would have been his wishes”, I was told. I’ll miss you Jack but will see you in your garden.
