Last summer, I conducted an in depth
three month project on what has become
one of the most exciting, exhilarating and
humbling experiences of my thirty year
career.
Herein is the testimony of six of the most
dedicated gardeners of the small sea side
town known as Marblehead, Massachusetts.
Read with me now of their trials and errors
of their gardening experiences. “The Hidden
Gardens of Marblehead” This is their story.

of it’s surroundings, thus inspires one who
experiences its beauty, to walk away having grown in spirit”
