Garden of Allison Bourke

The owner of this 3½-acre property is a hands-on gardener who designed the garden herself, often using her backhoe in the rocky Connecticut soil to make her ideas a reality. There is an 80-foot-long mixed border as well as beds of choice and unusual shade-loving varieties, a vegetable/cut flower garden, more than 250 peonies, a greenhouse, a lovingly tended beehive, and more than 30 raised beds used for propagation and experimentation. Currently she is trialing camassias, poppies, and alliums.

This garden's estimated size is 3½ acres.
