Armchair Garden Traveler:
5 Weeks, 58 Gardens, 4000 Miles: The Plants and Gardens of
New Zealand
Accompany gardener and photographer Dave Eckerdt on his garden travels through New Zealand, from the tropical north to the frigid south. The northern tip offered Tane
Mahuta, Maori for "The Lord of the
Forest," New Zealand's largest Kaori
tree, a living national treasure. The
southern tip offered Maple Glen, a forty-year-old, twenty-five-
acre, insecticide-free garden grown
from one woman's passion for plants
and birds. Derek
Fell in his book Great Gardens of New
Zealand writes "if there were a
competition for New Zealand?s most
beautiful garden, Maple Glen would
most probably win...this garden is to
New Zealand what Monet's garden is
to France."
An excellent photographer and an
enjoyable narrator, Dave is in his fifth
year as president of the Salem Hardy
Plant Society and an active member of a
dozen or more horticultural groups.
His own two-acre garden,
Deerly Missed, has been featured in
newspapers, magazines, and on
television.

Autumn Lecture Program:
Change: The Passage of Time in the Garden
Sydney Eddison, nationally
recognized garden writer and author of seven books
including her newest, Gardening for a
Lifetime: How to Garden Wiser as You
Grow Older (Timber Press, 2010), will
share a wonderful array of stories and insights
gained from a lifetime of gardening and
tell us about the adaptations she has
made as an aging gardener as she works to simplify her two-acre Connecticut garden. Painful joints, an aching back,
and the loss of her husband made it
impossible for her to maintain the garden as it once was.
