Let the plants, garden designs, and gardeners inspire you as you wander around four stunning private Monadnock Region gardens. Visit Michael Gordon’s third-of-an-acre terrace, Paul Tuller’s tranquil Japanese-inspired landscape, Skatutakee Farm’s historic home and ever-evolving garden design, and Bill and Eileen Elliott’s off-the-grid plant paradise. This self-guided tour concludes with a Digging Deeper talk with the Elliotts, who will share how their extensive gardens provide their food — and how they’ve spent a lifetime collecting and cultivating plants from around the world.

10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in Dublin, Peterborough, and Hancock. Space is limited, and tickets are required through the Garden Conservancy. (Note: If the event is not posted on the Conservancy website, please check back. Registration should be posted soon.) For additional questions please contact Susie Spikol.
