Over 40 years ago Jill and her husband Bob developed 30 rural acres in Lee, New Hampshire, into a show-stopping garden of delight.
Jill tells their journey going from a private oasis to a public garden which is now enjoyed by all. The garden slowly evolved through their deep love for the land, an insatiable urge to experiment, and a lot of grit.
Jill has stories of moving boulders, carrying trees on planes, driving tractors, making paths and ponds, learning the power of volunteers, welcoming thousands of visitors and bonding with community members over their love of the garden.
This program is FREE.
