1st Annual Garden Party Stroll

 

On a quiet country road in Gilmanton, a charming red house sits on a rise. If you drive by and glance at it, you might nod and say, “What a well-kept lawn and yard.”

 

You would be correct, but it goes much deeper than a nicely mown lawn. The owners of the property, Dick and Sue Barr have fashioned a series of incredibly beautiful, you-can-stroll-forever gardens that seem to pop up from the sloping land.

 

The couple spend all spring, summer and fall in their gardens, weeding, planting, replanting and sometimes rethinking where new and old favorite plants, trees and shrubs will go.

 

Let’s not forget the water features as well. The Barrs are experts at trying out unusual water fountains, and when something doesn’t feel quite right or has run its course, they aren’t afraid to rethink and redo an area. Case in point: their beloved little pond area with fish. Sue still shakes her head in distress when she speaks of the repeated effort of a nocturnal animal to make a feast of the fish. Tired of the effort and the risk to the fish, the Barrs removed the pond area and installed a wonderful new stone water fountain feature.

 

Not long ago, Dick decided he wanted a little greenhouse. Thus, he sent away for one from a European company and now has a wonderful greenhouse on the property. He says it’s great year-round and especially wonderful on a cold and snowy winter’s evening to sit in the little house and look up at the stars in the night sky while feeling the warm, moist air captured in the structure.

 

There doesn’t seem to be much this couple is afraid of tackling when it comes to gardening. If you want to grab a fellow gardener or just want to stroll some beautiful gardens on a summer’s afternoon, head to the 1st Annual Garden Party Stroll at the Barrs. The event takes place on Saturday, July 22 from 4 to 6 pm at 30 High Street in Gilmanton and proceeds will benefit the Gilmanton Food Pantry and the Gilmanton Year-Round Library.

 

Tickets are $20 per person or two tickets for $35.00 Wine, cheese and crackers will be served and you can have a before dinner snack and drink and stroll the beautiful gardens.

 

If you have gardening questions, or maybe you want to learn more about how Dick and Sue handle installation of the garden water features or how to grow something unusual or even what the process was for constructing and heating the greenhouse, the couple are always willing to chat and give advice.

 

For tickets to the event, and to RSVP, call the Barrs at 603-267-1905 or email [email protected]
