Boccelli Garden: the End of the First Season of a Public/Private Partnership Project V


This weekend is 'Peek into Peterborough'. Busloads of tourists come to New England and Peterborough to see the fall foliage. I was hoping things would still be looking vibrant at this point in the season. Now that the grass has grown in, the new project at the Boccelli Garden is looking well-established.


The fall foliage of clethra (yellow) and enkianthus (red) in the far left of the new gardens can be seen from across the Nubanusit River.


We got several new Adirondack chairs for the downtown parks this year.


 About a month ago, we enlarged the new bed below the retaining wall. The original idea was to leave grass below the last 5-6 feet of the retaining wall to create a bench, but I think the enlarged bed envelops the new terrace and existing Boccelli Garden and is an improvemnet even if the "bench" has been lost.


The Boccelli Garden as it has always looked in October.

  1. Looking good. Your trees seem more autumnal than in my neck of the woods.

    1. This has been a good foliage year here although we just a had a downpour earlier today that may have brought a lot of leaves down.
