Gardens and Tonic: Bedrock Gardens – The Journey from a Private Sanctuary to a Community Refuge

Join Jill Nooney for a story of how two people created a 37-acre garden over 35 years culminating in its becoming a public garden. Jill is the problem maker and Bob Munger is the problem solver. Jill has a ton of ideas and is impatient to see them realized; Bob chews on problems like a happy hound reluctant to give up. Jill made her first garden when she was 9. Bob built a Ham radio when he was 13. Together they have hand-built a 37-acre garden on land that was an abandoned dairy farm in Southern New Hampshire—she provided the vision and plant knowledge and he the ‘know how’ and perseverance. Bedrock Gardens is an oasis of horticulture, art, and inspiration.
