The Community School

If you are visiting northern New England this summer, don’t miss “Gardens of the Sandwich Range,” a tour of 10 outstanding private gardens on July 17. The towns of Tamworth and Sandwich nestle on the south face of New Hampshire’s White Mountains. These historic villages are the frame around a scenic vista of Mt. Chocorua, Whiteface, Passaconaway and the rest of the Sandwich Range Wilderness.
 
The tour takes visitors to a garden filled with 600 registered daylilies, a shady forest garden, a wildflower garden, a garden grown just for pressed flowers, and an organic vegetable garden that provides year-round food for its family. As visitors drive from garden to garden, they’ll see stone walled hayfields, white clapboard capes, and mountain views. Gardens of the Sandwich Range benefits the Community School, a unique college preparatory school whose students grow organic vegetables on a 310 acre farm. The tour begins at the school’s scenic campus and ends there with high tea.
 
Tickets for the tour are $20 pre-purchased. Call (603) 323-7000. Credit cards are accepted. Tickets can also be purchased July 17 at the school for $25. The school is located in South Tamworth, New Hampshire, on Bunker Hill Road, just off Route 25 and NH 113 West. Send checks to The Community School, 1164 Bunker Hill Road, South Tamworth, NH 03883.
 
Thanks.
