Frances Palmer's Garden
Weston, CT
About
Adjacent to Frances Palmer’s pottery studio is her large cutting garden, which supplies myriad blooms from early spring through frost. Frances grows “Alice in Wonderland flowers.” They inspire her ceramics and photography. Her garden is especially known for its dahlias; she plants more than 100 different shapes-from the smallest “pom” to the largest dinner plate varieties. Colors and textures abound, dahlias interweave with tomatoes, zinnias, amaranth, sunflowers, and herbs. September is the height of the garden’s abundance.
Please note that there are three active beehives on the property, and that in the event of rain, please wear rubber-soled shoes. The garden is up a slight hill, and both the hill and garden can be slippery in the rain.
This garden’s estimated size is 3/4 acre.
