SUMMARY:Garden Tour: Formal Borders
DESCRIPTION:Behind the border of flowering shrubs and trees that lines the roadside\, lies an Arts and Crafts-style house and garden built in 1908. With a few liberties\, the owners have recreated the original garden designed by Marian Coffin\, restoring the small\, formal parterre extending south from the house and executing the large double border below the west side of the house with the help of an early working plan. A half moon of dwarf and semi-dwarf evergreens\, originally created to take advantage of the serendipitous gift of many specimens\, has developed into a magnificent screen embracing an additional perennial bed. \nPark on the road and walk down the driveway to the house. Some steps. \nClick here to download a two-page list of all five Norfolk garden tours on Sunday\, August 2.

SUMMARY:Garden Tour: Community Garden
DESCRIPTION:Come and visit the Norfolk Community Garden and meet some of the gardeners. You will see the beds in full summer bloom: children from the Summer Gardening Club have their own two beds where they grow pumpkins\, tomatoes\, peas\, lettuce\, kale and more\, and we keep beds for the Food Pantry. \nThe Community Garden\, sponsored by the town Recreation Committee\, is located on the grounds of Botelle Elementary School. In the fall we will involve the fifth and sixth graders in an after school program to continue this exciting adventure. \nOur resident certified master composter\, Doug Semmes\, will be onsite operating our composting setup and discussing its usefulness and the science behind it. There will be a free herb seedling for the first 25 visitors to take home. \nClick here to download a two-page list of all five Norfolk garden tours on Sunday\, August 2.

SUMMARY:Garden Tour: Feeding Body and Soul
DESCRIPTION:“Our garden’s focus is to feed us\, our chickens\, our bees and our souls\,” say the owners. They practice organic methods\, remove invasives and embrace a natural feel. \nAt its heart is the kitchen garden they have been developing behind their house\, coping with a slope\, wet soil and Connecticut’s many stones. There are cold frames along the retaining wall\, raised beds surrounded by gravel and espaliered apples and pears on the fence. Perennial beds surround a future bocce court to complete the picture\, with room left for bee hives and their chickens. \nIn front of the house\, the mood is different. Here native plants have been allowed to naturalize into a meadow. Green and white dominate\, with some soft color in season. \nThe owners also have cooperated with their neighbors to create connecting pathways through the woods between them. \nClick here to download a two-page list of all five Norfolk garden tours on Sunday\, August 2.

SUMMARY:Garden Tour: Woodland Pathways
DESCRIPTION:When the owners\, both garden designers\, acquired the house and garden next door\, they decided to use the intervening woodland to link the two. Large shrubs and a lawn form a transition from the mature garden surrounding their original house into the woods beyond\, where an artful network of pathways and shade plantings leads to the second property or allows the visitor to explore. The gardens around the second house\, now their residence\, are being restored and expanded\, and the vegetable beds have been planted with a new variety of crops. \nPark on the road and walk up the driveway to take the loop from the first garden through the woods to the second garden\, and down its driveway to the road again. Some slopes and steps. \nClick here to download a two-page list of all five Norfolk garden tours on Sunday\, August 2.

SUMMARY:Garden Tour: Connections
DESCRIPTION:The owners of this mature garden cooperate with their neighbors next door to manage the woodland between them. They have all worked to eliminate invasives\, encourage natives and create a series of meandering pathways to connect their spaces. \nThe main garden features a lawn bordered by an array of shrubs and perennials in curving\, stone-edged beds. \nClick here to download a two-page list of all five Norfolk garden tours on Sunday\, August 2.
