Presented by Charles Cresson, experience the evolution of a unique family garden during the past century. Hedgleigh Spring, developed by four generations of the Cresson family, is praised for its original design, intimate spaces, and diversity within two acres, including old trees and the early 20^th century flower garden of roses and perennials. Other areas include shade plantings, a water garden, and a meadow, all providing homes to an extensive plant collection. Charles Cresson will share a singular perspective on how garden spaces change with time as plants grow and ideas evolve.
