June 19: Bedrock Gardens, Lee, NH
Bedrock Gardens in Lee, NH, transitioned to a public garden in 2023, when its owners, Jill Nooney and Bob Munder, gifted it to the Friends of Bedrock Gardens. The 30-acre site is filled with beautifully designed gardens, lush landscapes, and whimsical sculptures set against a stunning rural backdrop. It is noted for its concept of "the garden as a journey" and has been called ''one of the most beautiful and intriguing private landscapes in New Hampshire." This visit promises an inspiring and tranquil experience, perfect for nature lovers and those seeking creative inspiration.
