Location : Behind the BHS museum
Visitors are invited to spend time in the Victorian-inspired garden, conceived by Cambridge MA landscape architect Rick Lamb and named in honor of BHS museum’s long-standing curator Lisa Tulis Blair.
Within the garden’s peaceful confines, visitors can find areas that invite lingering, and a setting that is a visual and aesthetic experience. The garden showcases wildflower-native plant beds and mixed shrub-perennial plantings, within defined mulch beds, surrounding broad lawn vistas. Old stone walls mark visitor pathways and serve as boundary markers along property lines. Throughout the garden, visitors can hear the gentle sound that emanates from hand tuned wind chimes hanging from flowering trees. Several sitting benches, strategically placed within the garden, provide visitors quiet spaces for a peaceful interlude. The whimsical gazebo establishes a cozy hideaway where visitors can watch native birds and butterflies in their natural environment or catch a glimpse of the deer and other wildlife that make this area their habitat.
