Item Description

Tour Bill Noble's garden in Norwich, Vermont with 3 of your friends and receive a signed copy of his book, Spirit of Place: The Making of a New England Garden.

For twenty-five years Bill worked as a garden designer and professional in garden preservation. As Director of Preservation for the Garden Conservancy, he was instrumental in the preservation and restoration of dozens of gardens throughout the U.S.

His garden surrounds an 1830s Vermont farmhouse and barn, with stonewalls, fields, and views of neighboring farms and distant mountains. It reflects his horticultural path from market gardener to garden designer. The garden features perennial and shrub borders, vegetable garden and orchard, a rock garden and dry garden, fields and meadows. The focal point is a mixed border of shrubs and hardy perennials, while remnants of barn foundations offer a setting for alpines, ferns, ornamental grasses and shrubs.
