The Bradley-Hubbell House and Hubbell Gardens are located on
Black Rock Turnpike in Easton, CT
The Hubbell Garden at the Bradley-Hubbell House was designed by Shelia Wertheimer, an historic landscape designer with the Florence Griswold Museum. She designed the garden after studying the land, researching old photos and speaking with Pat Hubbell whose parents, Helen Osborne Hubbell and Franklin Hubbell, planted the original garden in the 1930s. In Spring 2001, Sal Gilbertie donated, and members of the Easton Garden Club planted, plants which were similar to those in the original garden.
A project instituted to help fund the ongoing maintenance of the Hubbell Garden is the sale of note cards featuring watercolors by artist and Garden Club member Connie Will of flowers found in the gardens surrounding the Bradley-Hubbell House.
Diary of a Garden 1 features watercolors of six flowers (Cosmos, Hemerocallis, Petunia, Phlox, Aster and Shasta Daisy) found in the historic Hubbell Garden.
Diary of a Garden 2 features watercolors of six flowers (Mallow, Playcodon, Galardia, Lily, Rosa and Digitalis) found in the historic Hubbell Garden.
Note cards are available in packages of six cards for $10. If you are interested in purchasing cards, please leave a comment on this blog, contact the Easton Garden Club via e-mail at: eastongardenclubATgmailDOTcom or write the Club at: PO Box 101, Easton, CT 06612.
