Michael and Kathy Nerrie, the builders of the Distant Hill Gardens, will be available both days to discuss the energy saving features of their home.

As a special treat, ‘Solar Dave’ (aka David Wirth), a local PV installer, will be on hand Saturday from 10am to 2pm to answer your questions. Learn the finer points of installing and producing your own energy from the sun; the advantages and disadvantages of ground, roof, or pole mounted systems; and get updates on the ever-changing State rebates and Federal tax credits that are available for installation of alternative energy systems.

More Interested in Exploring the Woods and Gardens?

If you are more interested in exploring the forest, fields, wetlands, and gardens of Distant Hill than the house, the entire 58 acre property is open both days from 10 am to 4 pm. Stroll the many paths through the Beautiful Cultivated Shrub Gardens; search for the dozens of Whimsical Metal sculptures hidden throughout; experience the Quaking Cranberry Bog boardwalk; walk the new half-mile long Accessible Loop Trail; or let the kids explore ‘White-Rock Woods’, a nature play area at Distant Hill Gardens. Also of interest is the unique Stone Circle aligned to the setting sun on the winter solstice, and the geologically unique outcroppings of Stretched Pebbles.

There is a suggested donation of $5.00 per adult

All proceeds will be go toward the Accessible Trail Fund.
