This year the Trade Secrets Garden tours were amazing private gardens that were so different with each showcasing a unique gardening perspective.
“Rockwood Farm speaks to the landscaper/designer owner’s affection for New England history.
Featuring a historic reproduction of an 1800s-era saltbox, this serviceable, sustainable and comfortable homestead has a relaxed and casual style complete with fruiting trees, a courtyard garden, edible and woodland gardens, a fieldstone terrace and so much more.”
Here is a sample of this gorgeous property that is obviously tended with loving care by its owners.

Pool at Lion Rock
Then it was on to Kent and another beautiful property. The owners of Kent Greenhouse and Nursery have taken great care in making this property their own.
There was more than ample space there for loads of veggies! There were fruit trees and berry bushes and solar panels and of course a barn with horses!

Barns for Cody and the other horses
The owners had a his and hers garden areas.
And of course what is a garden without gorgeous flowers!

Alliums

Of course a spot to rest and enjoy all this beauty!
