Garden Tour in New York Mills
Public Welcome Registration Required Free Event Home/Private Garden Tour
We are delighted to invite you to a Garden Tour featuring a popular Wild Ones Mohawk Valley native garden. The homeowner is a long-time gardener who started transitioning her lovely and traditional cottage gardens to include predominantly native plants in 2021. The gardens are extensive, featuring a large variety of native plants, shrubs, and trees. Big changes have taken place each year, and this year is no different. The removal of non-natives has made room for the planting of many new natives, including transforming one area into a small forest of trees and bushes underplanted with a living mulch of hundreds of plugs of multiple ground covers. Come and see how the native plants have matured in the last five years, while viewing the newest garden area and gardens still in transition!
This landscape still has hints of cottage gardens, along with “formalish” native front gardens, a woodland garden, and winding paths and hardscape that define "rooms," all of which foster a sense of peace and tranquility and an immersion in nature. Come visit and enjoy resting in one of the many sitting areas to view the functional and ecologically beneficial native gardens of this typical suburban lot, now transformed into a restorative sanctuary.
