Mary Chicoine's Garden
Greenfield, MA
Fruit/vegetables, Organic/toxin-free, Substantial native plants, Water feature, Woodland/shade garden
This in-town homestead on two-tenths of an acre of land is a testament to getting the most bounty and beauty out of a small property. Located along a busy street, the house and gardens are often admired by passersby, some who ask for help identifying an eye-catching plant and others who might leave with an armful of rainbow chard or some tender young squash. More than ten years in the making, this property was transformed from lawn and hedges to an abundant mix of fruit trees and shrubs, perennial beds, and more. A goshen stone patio with a pond provides a place of rest in otherwise riotous full-sun front and side gardens; large trees edge the property behind the house, providing a shady respite in the summertime.
This garden's estimated size is ⅕ acre.
