20 Church Street & 12 State street gardens
Friday, July 17, 10 am – 4 pm
20 Church Street & 12 State Street, Sandwich
Nestled in the Sandwich Glass Factory village near the Sandwich Boardwalk are two hidden gardens, one at 20 Church Street and the other at 12 State Street. Both historic houses are on the same $5 ticket.
Twenty Church Street had been quietly forgotten until the present owners sparked it into life. They transformed the land into gardens filled with sun and shade plantings to create intimate areas and unexpected moments. A secret pathway leads quietly through a gate to State Street.
Twelve State Street had been deserted for 30 years until the present owners bought it. They created a garden, secret from the road, with a 60-foot perennial border. Unique shrubs, tuberous begonias started from tubers each spring, and abundant flowers create areas of privacy and joy. The two families, who are related, share plantings and advice, curiosity, and creativity.
