Come to our annual “Dogwood Days” Open House and Grounds

Enjoy a stroll through hundreds of blooming kousa dogwood trees cultivated and planted by the late Polly Wakefield, and tour the gardens that she created.  This year Dogwood Days will feature a guided tour of the formal gardens each day at 11:00am, a guided tour of the Isaac Davenport mansion on Saturday, June 2 at 1:00pm, the opportunity to observe plein air artists capturing the blooming dogwoods on canvas, and the chance to purchase a kousa dogwood sapling for your home.  New at this year’s Dogwood Days will also be a hands-on opportunity to learn how to create a Herbarium, the proper collecting method to document and prepare botanical specimens of the kousa dogwoods. Families are welcome and can try their hand at making “sunprints” or visit with the estate’s sheep, llamas and chickens. For more information call 617-333-0924. The Wakefield Estate is located at 1465 Brush Hill Rd in Milton and “Dogwood Days” open house and grounds will run Saturday June 2 and Sunday, June 3 from 10am to 3:00pm.
