THE AUTUMN WORKSHOP

fotios — Mon, 10 Sep 2012 12:06:52 +0000

There has been much interest in an autumn workshop and we are going to hold one. For economic reasons it will be but a one day affair. The morning held here at North Hill with Joe Eck and John Thayer discussing autumn bulbs and preparing spring bulbs for display. There will be a vinous lunch and we will then travel to Walker Farm for a view of the autumn crops, the winter crops and all the joys of gardening that can come to us with a little effort.

The workshop will take place 9/29/2012 from 10am to 4pm. The cost will be $175 and checks and registrations may be sent to North Hill PO Box 178 Readsboro, VT 05350.

A few select vendors will be in attendance offering rare bulbs.

Workshop
We would like to do a workshop in Autumn on the Autumn garden and autumnal food. Sadly Fergus cannot attend. But Jack Manix, the owner of Walker Farm the largest organic farm in Vermont, has agreed to join us. Beatrice Tosti Di Valminuta will be with us also. Talking about cooking and cooking for us. I too will have a few things to say. The workshop will last two days. If any of you are interested please contact us for we cannot schedule the workshop until we are sure there is interest. Our thoughts were that it would take place the first or second weekend of October.

NORTH HILL SYMPOSIUM 2012

The 2012 Sympossium was a tremendous successs despite the slides being washed out by the sunlight. All our speakers were stellar. And just listening to their voices was enough.
However we have decided to return to Mount Snow despite its commercial ambience. The slides there will be splendid, it will air conditioned and the room are inexpensive. We promise you a fine lunch.

The Lysichiton, plants from both North America and Asia, are among the earliest to bloom in the garden. They will still be with us another week.

OPEN DAY

fotios — Tue, 01 May 2012 12:31:43 +0000

Open day was blustery and cold. Nevertheless many people joined us to see the still pristine magnolias and the daffodils unblemished by the coming frost. Saturday dawned a sunny but cold morning. The magnolias had been browned but the daffodils and other things had been unharmed.

The late magnolias those still to open their buds were undamaged. We will be open again this Friday and Saturday and hope to see you here.

The daffodils were as splendid as usual and held despite the surprisingly cold weather. We think they will even last another week.
