Distant Hill Gardens in Walpole will be hosting their monthly ‘Open Garden’ next Saturday, August 2 – 9am to 4pm.

There is lots to see and do at Distant Hill. You can check out the large raised-bed Vegetable Garden, or stroll along the paths winding through the beautiful Cultivated Gardens. Experience the boardwalk across the quaking Cranberry Bog with the kids, or let them spend some time exploring the nature play area we call ‘White-Rock Woods’. And don’t miss the fragrant field of Common Milkweed or the interesting thirty-foot diameter Stone Circle aligned with the setting sun on the winter solstice.

A partial list of trees you may see includes: American Elm, Basswood, Bigtooth Aspen, Bitternut Hickory, Black Ash, Hophornbeam, Quaking Aspen, and White Ash. Also growing on Distant Hill are Red Oak, White Oak, Black Oak, and White, Yellow, Black, and Gray Birch.
