Noted horticulturist Warren Leach to visit Suffield.
During the gray, soggy days of early Spring, it’s difficult to imagine that in a few more months Suffield gardeners will be toting watering cans and dragging hoses to hydrate precious plants. However, planning ahead can increase chances for success during the dry months of summer.
On April 6, the Suffield Garden Club will feature “Quenching Heat, Humidity and Drought – Gardens that Dazzle – Withstanding the Dog Days and Onwards” by Warren Leach. Warren is an award-winning landscape designer, twice receiving the National Landscape Association Regional Certificate of Merit for Residential Landscape Design. Images of his garden design at Brigham Hill Farm in North Grafton, Massachusetts are archived at the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D.C.
For more than thirty-five years, Warren has been creating beautiful landscapes throughout New England. Visitors can enjoy his captivating and educational display gardens at Tranquil Lake Nursery in Rehoboth, Mass., where he is co-owner.
Warren has taught horticulture and landscape design at numerous horticultural institutions throughout the Northeast including: The University of Rhode Island, the Brown University Learning Community, Rhode Island School of Design Continuing Education, the Scott Arboretum of Swarthmore College, and the Arnold Arboretum of Harvard University.
The program is free and open to the public starting at 12 noon, Monday April 6, 2026, at the Second Baptist Church, 100 North Main Street, Suffield. Parking and entrance are in the rear of the building.
The Suffield Garden Club, organized in 1934, is a non-profit organization. New members are always welcome. To become a member or to learn more, visit www.SuffieldGardenClub.org.
