May Place–Gardens of Bill and Eileen Elliott
Hancock, NH
About
Two compulsive plant collectors have been making gardens on a wooded hillside clearing for forty-five years. We continue to do all of the planning, landscaping, planting and maintenance ourselves.
Gardening offers us ample challenges and satisfaction as the garden continues to expand, change, die back, thrive, disappoint, and exhilarate. Within the green wall of mature woodland is a two-acre clearing which contains a mix of trees, shrubs, perennials, biennials, annuals, herbs and vegetables.
A 200-yard path through the woods leads to shade and container gardens near the house.
This Garden Host reports the following Terrain Notes about the garden: The garden is on a hillside with uneven paths. Sturdy shoes are needed.
