Weekend Garden Scene


Jack Handey, the American humorist said, “I hope life isn't a big joke, because I don't get it.” There is always room for humor in the garden scene especially on Friday. So just in case you aren’t stranded like these two blokes above, you may want to check out what is happening in the local garden scene.

One option is a fantastic recession deal – free admission for a Winter Open House at Tower Hill Botanic Garden from 10am-5pm this Sunday, November 14th. http://www.towerhillbg.org/ For all you lucky buggers that have your garden chores buttoned up, pack up the family caravan for a late autumn ride to the Boylston countryside. It’s also a fail-safe in case any clouds roll through. You can sneak into my favorite spot, the Orangerie and bask in the ambiance of glass, tropical plants and classical music.

If you have a little extra time, hop on Rt. 290 to 495 and head out to Bonsai West. http://www.bonsaiwest.com/index.html Everyone loves this place. Whatever you do this weekend, put a little garden skip in your step. Before you know it, that deserted island might start looking good. Have a great weekend. Plant Ahoy.
