Join BBG for a trip to Walpole, NH on Thursday, May 16, to visit Boggy Meadow Farm, a three-acre, historic farm dating from 1812, and known for crafting cheese, growing heirloom beans and pressing cider vodka. The garden, planted by Fanny Peabody Mason on a small bluff above the Connecticut River, is an informal garden, with many elements of an older, more formal garden. There are English borders, a grape arbor, and a small sunken garden with a narrow ravine down to a stream. The Boggy Meadow Farm tour will be followed by lunch at French-themed restaurant Burdick’s on Main Street. NOTE: Restaurant reservations are required; please send any food or allergy issues in advance.

The last stop will be The Bunker Farm, in Dummerston, VT, where unique plants are grown using sustainable, almost entirely organic practices and biological pest and disease management. Their plants are mostly raised from seed, which is either collected year after year, selecting seed from the best plants, or sourced from reputable seed companies in the USA and abroad. The selection of plants for sale is a combination of tried and true performers as well as many rare and unusual speciality plants.

Please reserve your spot on the BBG van; there are 10 seats available (*NOW FULL). We will leave BBG at 8:30 a.m. and return by 8 p.m.

*As of March 26, 2024, the seats on the bus are taken. We are happy to have you sign up, but you will need to carpool, or drive on your own. Hope you will join us!
