The weekend of July 9 is going to be busy. A festival of garden and artisan tours will be on offer. The Hawley Artisan’s & Garden Tour, sponsored by the Sons and Daughters of Hawley is billed as “A Collage of Art and Gardens.” One of my favorite gardens is Jerry Sternstein’s vegetable garden that is much more lush than mine – and has a fabulous view.
Other Hawley gardens have perennial borders and blooming shrubs, but many will also offer quilt displays, stonework, and Marian Ives delightful metal ornaments. One garden grows Energy, with an array of solar hot water, photovoltaics, a wood boiler and more. Lunch will be served at The Grove ($12) right across from the historic East Hawley Meeting House. And don’t forget the famous Hawley Bog with its many rare plants.
For more information or to order tickets ($10 suggested donation) call Cyndie Stetson, 339-4231. Tickets will also be available the day of the tour, Saturday, July 9 from 10-4pm at the Stetson house, 108 West Hawley Road.
This sounds like so much fun. I hope you show us more.
When I saw Pudding Hollow, I clicked on the ‘Hurry to Hawley’ link because I had read that name in someone’s blog. And you mention her! Do you know her blog:

and a new one about coping with her mother’s Alzheimers.

Small (blogging) world!!
Sure looks like a beautiful place.
Lisa – I will have more photos of this and other tour sites.
Nan – Tinky is a dear friend. She has even used a couple of my recipes. Hawley is a beautiful town that looks across to Heath!
I am sure that will be a wonderful tour. Your roses look divine. Love Rosa glauca. It is a delight.
