A Scottsville Garden
Join FCGN on Tuesday, June 11, 2024 from 6:30 to 8:00 pm for a visit to Susan Buckner’s garden in Scottsville, NY.
Here is how Susan describes her garden:
“When I bought my house in 2018, the property was 3.5 acres of grass with one shed and a ranch house, so all I could do was imagine what it could look like. By the time we moved in one year later, I had added the butterfly koi pond, creek, patio and sidewalk out back. When I sold the house in Caledonia, I stipulated that I got two years to dig out all of my plants. Luckily they gave me three years, as they are not gardeners. Needless to say, I lined the trees and the sidewalk—plus plus plus!—with an assortment of perennials, hosta, peonies, rarer shade plants, and more. ‘I’m just a girl who can’t say no’ to a plant. I also added many new trees and conifers, both in the gardens and in the ‘back 40,’ a sort of mini arboretum. I start with small trees so hope I live another 20 years to see them grow. It is still a work in progress, as all gardens are.”
