Celebrating Summer Gardens, A Tour

A highlight of the summer season, Suffield Garden Club is presenting a garden tour, “Celebrating Summer Gardens,” on July 16 from 10 a.m.- 4 p.m. Five private gardens about town and the gardens of the historic Hatheway House and Hilltop Farm will be open to visitors. The tour will feature unique gardens, such as a glorious two-acre property with walls of towering twelve-foot hydrangeas and hundreds of juniper, yew and boxwood. Walk about a five-acre property with gardens complemented with flea market finds and lots of imagination. Visit a three-quarter acre property with features that include a garden with a 5-foot apple tree, a 16-foot squirrel-proof birdhouse and a special fireplace and pergola. Hatheway’s sixty-year-old perennial garden will be in brilliant bloom, and Hilltop’s gardens will show you what plants to use to benefit butterflies and birds.

Baby Trees Distributed Again

For the 57th year since the establishment of the custom, members of the Suffield Garden Club observed Arbor Day by distributing seedling trees provided by the Club’s Vallery Gallivan Tree Fund to all the Suffield fourth grade students.
