The Garden Conservancy Events 2025
Digging Deeper Programs
An offshoot of Garden Conservancy Open Days™, Digging Deeper is an exclusive and site-specific program—including informal talks, tours, and demonstrations with experts—that invites Open Days participants to take a closer look at the garden world. Register online.
Open Days
Since 1995, Open Days has welcomed more than 1.4 million visitors into thousands of inspired private landscapes in 41 states. Purchase tickets online.

A 2-acre garden for all seasons that has been created and fine-tuned for more than two decades. Owners have collaborated with noted landscape designer Richard Hartlage. Principally a stroll garden, there are small rooms, seating areas, private nooks, impressive vistas. Drifts of hakonechloa soften strong architectural underpinnings of the garden, and many brilliant and original plant combinations will thrill the horticulturist. A collection of sculptures, artworks, and commissioned pieces is interspersed throughout as accent points and disarming bits of humor. See thousands of early spring flowering bulbs. Nutley
