Garden Dialogues 2024: Concord, MA
Register now to explore this exceptional 2.4-acre property with rolling meadows and surrounded by a densely forested perimeter. This landscape includes a long, winding driveway, sunny perennial gardens, and elegant granite steps. The exclusive tour will be led by Michelle Crowley, principal of Crowley Cottrell, Architect Kelly Ennis Connellan of Jill Neubauer Architects, and Botanica Fine Gardens Meadow Consultant/Installation, Ed Kutchmanich.
Crowley Cottrell, working in tandem with Jill Neubauer Architects, designed a plan to blur the edges between the modern farmhouse, property, and the forest beyond. Gardens embrace all sides of the house: perennial gardens create a welcoming entry on the east and south; a woodland garden transitions to mixed deciduous forest on the north; and lush native plantings surround a terrace on the west.
Steps of granite and flagstone lead down from the terrace and low-bush blueberry stabilizes the embankment while providing fruit and brilliant fall color. A restored, traditional fieldstone wall separates the property from the road. Insects and wildlife abound in this rewilded landscape, restoring the previously degraded site into a rich habitat bound to thrill its occupants for many seasons to come.
