Garden Conservancy Open Days Program
Submitted By Bob Gillmore, Regional Representative, The Garden Conservancy

 

Members of the public will have a rare opportunity to view one of the largest private residential gardens in central New Hampshire—more than an acre of annuals, perennials, shrubs and trees—Saturday and Sunday, July 22 and 23.

 

The garden, on Wing Road in Epsom, is part of the Open Days Program of the Garden Conservancy, the national non-profit organization that organizes the opening of several hundred of the nation’s exceptional private gardens every year.

 

The Epsom garden is one of three Merrimack Valley landscapes on this year’s program.

 

The garden includes vast beds of flowering plants surrounding two carefully restored 18th-century farm buildings: a large center-chimney colonial house and a 35-by-56-foot barn built in 1794.

 

The largest planting bed, along the front of the house, is 134 feet long and four feet wide.  Another bed is 75 feet long and 20 feet across at its widest point.

 

The plantings are so large and lush that they “embower” the buildings, according to Dr. Kyle Landt, a retired pediatric endocrinologist who bought the property in 1988 and spent the last 29 years creating the gardens.

 

Landt also made a pond, which is now home to 16 koi.  The 15-by-35-foot pond is fed by a waterfall, which flows out of a two-by-four-foot stone horse trough.

 

Landt’s garden also boasts the largest horsechestnut tree (Aesculus hippocastanum) in Merrimack County.  The approximately-150-year-old tree is more than 65 feet high and its crown more than 56 feet wide.

 

The two other Merrimack Valley gardens in this year’s Open Days program are Evergreen, Robert Gillmore’s one-acre woodland garden in Goffstown, which includes more than 400 rhododendrons; and Danielle Durocher’s garden in Windham.  Durocher’s suburban home is surrounded by perennial beds, specimen evergreens and flowering shrubs; her garden includes a multi-level pond and extensive stone work.

 

All three gardens will be open from 10 a.m. to 5 p. m. 

 

Admission to each garden is $7 per person, which supports Conservancy activities.

 

Besides the Open Days Program, the Conservancy restores and preserves outstanding private gardens across the country, which are then open to the public, usually as non-profit organizations.  

 

One of its early projects was the Fells, on Lake Sunapee, in Newbury.  It was once the summer estate of John Hay, secretary of state under two presidents, William McKinley and Theodore Roosevelt

Epsom Campbell, Robert.jpg

Robert G. Campbell

 

EPSOM- Mr. Robert G. Campbell, 93, of Epsom, passed away on June 23, 2017 at the Epsom Healthcare Center after a period of declining health.

 

Born in Lowell, MA, Bob was the son of the late Robert and Alice I. (Gourley) Campbell.  He was raised and educated in Chelmsford and Harvard, MA. He was a graduate of The Bromfield School in Havard in 1942.  He enlisted in the United States Army Air Force in 1942 and proudly served his country during World War II, flying over 50 missions as a turret gunner with the 451st Bombardment Group.

 

After returning home from the war, he married his beloved wife in 1947.  They resided in Harvard for most of their lives before moving to Epsom in 2004.  In earlier years, they had been active with the Unitarian Church of Harvard as well as several local town and civic group activities. 

 

For over 30 years, Bob was the owner and operator of Robert G. Campbell Excavating in Harvard and was a member of the Harvard Fire Department for over 17 years.    He later became the Highway Superintendent for the town of Harvard for many years.

 

He was a member of the American Legion Post #112 in Epsom.

 

He is survived by his beloved wife of 70 years, B. Elsie (Tooker) and his daughter, Susan L. Campbell Boska of Concord.

 

A Celebration of His Life was held on Sunday, July 9th in the Still Oaks Funeral & Memorial Home in Epsom.    A private reception will be announced for later.  Burial will take place in Bellevue Cemetery in Harvard, MA at a later time. In lieu of flowers, expressions of sympathy in his memory may be sent to the Epsom American Legion Post 112, 1044 Short Falls Rd. Epsom, NH 03234 or the Concord Regional VNA, 30 Pillsbury St. Concord, NH 03301.  To share a memory or offer a condolence, please visit www.stilloaks.com
