A little more than 35 years ago, owner Marcia Pierce and garden designer/garden builder, Paul Wieczoreck, began a collaboration that lasted until Marcia’s passing three years ago. From an initial foundation planting featuring late 80’s classics such as spreading yews junipers and PJM rhododendrons, the gardens have grown continuously in scale and diversity and now cover over two acres. The bi-level garden, connected by a constructed cascading stream through a woodland garden, features a variety of specimen woody ornamentals which provide the framework for a host of herbaceous plants. The upper garden level where the home is located, includes a unique walled sunken garden, a rock garden and a conifer garden, all knitted together by a fine collection of herbaceous perennials. The lower level, carved out of a beautiful forest adorned with two ponds and a natural stream, contains a series of island beds anchored by maturing, slow-growing conifers.
Although not the hard core plant lover his wife was, Marcia’s husband Peter McNaull has continued to maintain this very special Vermont garden, and is always eager to host garden enthusiasts from throughout the region. We hope you can join us for this very special tour led by Paul Wieczoreck.
