. . INDOOR GARDENING : GARDENING: Private No More . . Private No More Famed North Hill Garden expands its schedule, offerings to public By Richard Henke / The Commons The Commmons Online, Windham Vermont http://www.commonsnews.org/site/site05/story.php?articleno=5658&page=1 . .North Hill Garden in Readsboro has become internationally known as an one of the best private gardens in North America, an example of the naturalistic American garden style.
.The home of Joe Eck and his spouse Wayne Winterrowd, who died in 2010, North Hill has become world famous through Eck and Winterrowds popular jointly-written books chronicling their exploits in the garden, including A Year at North Hill (1995), Living Seasonally (1999) and Our Life in Gardens (2009).
.Although unknown to many people living in southern Vermont, this remarkable formerly private garden only a few miles outside Windham County is now open to the public. Dedicated to instruction and demonstration, North Hill is open each Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. until the middle of October. Two workshops, seminars or demonstrations will occur each month. Guided tours will be available to garden clubs and horticultural societies.
.Roger Swain, host of the PBS television series The Victory Garden, said North Hill Garden is of such quality and diversity that it rivals any in Europe. But there is nothing derivative about North Hill; it is American gardening at its best."
.The garden is 40 years old, says Eck. At 20, it looked mature and now it is at its peak, says Eck. A garden goes through a life cycle like any living thing. It never will be more beautiful than it is now.
. snip .The mission of North Hill Garden is to demonstrate ornamental horticulture at its highest level in the context of the Green Mountains.
