In Part 1, at the historic country properties of Glen Magna Farms and Stevens-Coolidge Place, we will see our first examples of transformations from farmland to fashionable estates that occurred in New England in the late 1800’s and early 1900’s. We’ll travel to New Hampshire and Rhode Island to see three elegant rose gardens and linger in Rhode Island to take in two very different Preservation Society of Newport properties. We’ll end the tour at the unique Bridge of Flowers in Shelburne Falls, Ma.
