Noteworthy Gardens: Perennial Gardening with Cindy Lewis.

Hildene, the Lincoln Family Home in Manchester, Vermont is as well known for its extensive gardens as for the family of the president. Lewis was responsible for tending Hildene's gardens for 15 years. Currently, gardener for a private estate on Lake Champlain, she brings a lifetime of experience with growing flowers in Vermont.

Lewis will present A photographic journal from Vermont gardens. She has lived in seven towns and six counties in Vermont, working on the grounds of some of Vermont's most historic landscapes and homes. Each place with its breathtaking beauty had its own challenges and has given her opportunities to learn and grow with the land. The presentation is a sampling of some of the grounds she has worked to restore and enhance. She has selected some of the many perennials that have proven to be hardy, healthy, and thrive in diverse conditions.

Join us for this free presentation Thursday, June 13 at 7:00 at the Rochester Public Library.
