Nonstop Plants: A Garden for 365 Days

The spring 2010 Rocky Hills Lecture Series features Margaret Roach, garden writer, garden blogger, and former garden editor at Newsday in New York and at Martha Stewart Living.

Expressions commonly heard each September like “the garden season’s almost over” don’t sit well with Margaret Roach. She has worked for more than 20 years to make her Hudson Valley/Berkshires garden a visual treat every day of the year. Meet the plants that make it happen, delivered with a dose of “horticultural how-to and woo-woo” that is her signature style, and the focus of her popular blog AWayToGarden.com.

After 15 years at Martha Stewart, first as garden editor of "Living" and later as editorial director of the company's magazines, books and internet, Margaret Roach moved to her rural garden fulltime two years ago and built the blog AWaytoGarden.com to national acclaim. She has just completed a corporate-dropout memoir, And I Shall Have Some Peace There, due in January 2011 from Grand Central Publishing.

Thursday, April 22 at 7:30 p.m. at the Chappaqua Public Library.

Presented by the Friends of Rocky Hills. Free admission.

Rocky Hills is a Preservation Project of the Garden Conservancy.
