Mountain Garden Walks

Garden Tour

A Saturday in July 2023

Garden tours in the “mountain towns” have a special setting with vistas of Bromley, Stratton and Magic (Glebe) mountains from every property. Gardens build on these vistas, each one presenting a unique and inviting landscape of stone walls, woodlands, perennials and wildflower gardens. All proceeds go to Green Mountain Gardeners Lib Thieme Scholarship Fund.

Highlights of what you will see:

Mature perennial and wildflower gardens, a haying field with paths for walks and picnicking, a meandering artisan-well stream and a river winding through low-lying fields.
Norway Spruce and Green Giant Arborvitae as a natural border and a walkway formed by Freedom Maples.
An enlarged pond that welcomes wildlife; plantings to nurture bees, butterflies and hummingbirds; plum trees, apple trees, blueberry bushes and a kiwi vine provide beauty and nourishment.
Peony and hydrangea hedges and a rhododendron garden designed to create intimate spaces.
Small-scale working sheep farm captures a mix of the practical and the artistic of farming and gardening to provide organic vegetables, eggs and meat as well as the abundant wool the farm produces.
Abundant lilacs, rhubarb, lemon lilies and ancient Maple capture the heritage and early cultivation of a working Vermont farm.
An expansive garden of cutting flowers and vegetables — a mix and match of plants and flowers demonstrate an ever changing and expanding flow of ideas about gardening.
