Barn Talk: Garden Paths and Focal Points: Designing the Garden View with Page Dickey, April 5th, 10:00 am – 11:30 am
Garden paths and focal points are more than mere features—they are tools that shape space, invite engagement, and frame the natural world in a way that feels intentional and inspiring. Hollister House Garden is thrilled to open its twentieth anniversary season with a special Barn Talk by noted author and garden designer Page Dickey. Using a variety of private gardens as examples, she will demonstrate how essential paths are in garden design, not only as practical features, but as a way of creating a sense of surprise and romance. From winding trails that invite exploration to more structured, axial routes that impart order and formality, learn how to use paths to complement your landscape’s unique character. Discover the importance of axes and the delight of focal points that catch the eye and anchor the composition of your garden.
After the lecture, you are invited to take a special first-look at the pre-season garden to see these design features in action.
Page Dickey has been gardening passionately since her early twenties, and writing about gardening, as well as designing gardens for others, for the last three decades. She has written eight books and edited another. Most of her books concentrate on aspects of garden design, illustrated by exceptional examples from gardens around America. Her most recent book, Uprooted: A Gardener Reflects on Beginning Again, describes leaving a beloved garden of thirty-four years, finding a home in the northwest corner of Connecticut, and falling in love with its land. Page lectures around the country about plants and garden design, and has written many articles for magazines over the years. She recently retired as a founding board member of Hollister House Garden and is a Director Emeritus of the Garden Conservancy.

The David M. Hunt Library will host Ginny Apple, speaking on Connecticut’s Foxes, on Saturday, March 1st at 2pm.
Connecticut is home to two species of fox: the brilliantly colored Red Fox with its white-tipped tail and black legs, celebrated in literature from Reynard the Fox to Dr. Seuss’s Fox in Socks, and the smaller, lesser-known Grey Fox, which, believe it or not, can climb trees. These efficient omnivores play important roles in our ecosystem keeping the balance of nature in sync.
Join Ginny Apple, a Master Wildlife Conservationist with the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, and a Barkhamsted resident, to learn all about foxes. This event is free and open to the public.
