Welcome To Broccoli Hall!
Hello, fellow garden lovers,
In 2009, I wrote several seasonal stories for Dutchess Mercantile about aspects of Broccoli Hall. Art Directed by Heather Gibons and  Illustrated with Jennifer May's astonishing images, I describe what I see when I walk through my garden at all times of year. Please enjoy Jen May's pictures and mine and click on the PDF icons below to read the stories.
Welcome to Broccoli Hall!

The garden was not open in 2020 due to the pandemic. I do not know if it will be open in 2021.
Once I have a date, I will post it here, or contact me at sweetee212@aol.com and put Broccoli Hall in the subject line.
When we open next, a donation of $10.00 per person (children 12 and under no charge)
benefits the Garden Conservancy and the Amenia Free Library.

Peace on earth.
Maxine
