LETTER FROM THE GARDEN

Dear Tower Hill Family, One year ago, George Sherwood’s mesmerizing kinetic sculptures arrived at Tower Hill Botanic Garden. We were entranced by these unique pieces, watching them dance in the wind and glitter in the sunlight. Much like these sculptures, Tower Hill was basking in a highly successful fiscal year, April 1, 2019–March 31, 2020. While it began as a momentous year, it ended as one of the most challenging in memory. More people visited than ever before. They witnessed the blooming of the Daffodil Field in the spring, the summer splendor of Free After Three Thursdays, and the beginning of an accessible entry experience including renovations to the Stoddard Center. In December, we celebrated our first sold-out Night Lights event. In March, towards the end of our fiscal year, we closed our gates due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic. While fiscal year 2019–2020 has ended unceremoniously, we can reflect on a year of significant milestones. We know that the Garden remains a constant for our community, including more than 8,800 member households. Tower Hill reminds us that we are all connected by the natural world, which provides us with essential sustenance and inspiration in both good and challenging times. It reminds us that it is our responsibility to be stewards of the environment. Thank you for being an integral part of Tower Hill and for sharing in these achievements this year. We look forward to welcoming you back to the Garden soon. Grace C. Elton Chief Executive Officer Jim Karadimos Board President

THE PEOPLE OF TOWER HILL

“For me, the most beautiful sight on Earth is the Earth itself. To nurture it gives me great personal pleasure. To learn from it is a continuing responsibility for us all.” – john stoddard

Stoddard Family: Creating A Legacy In Spring 2019, sisters Sara Graves and Martha Pierson connected with Tower Hill staff to coordinate a memorial for their father John Stoddard, Trustee Emeritus, who began the family’s thirty-year connection to the Garden. John joined the Board of Trustees of the Worcester County Horticultural Society in 1990, serving as a member of the Library Committee and a volunteer docent. In 1993, his wife Phyllis came out of retirement to join the Development Team. Being avid gardeners, John and Phyllis’ family grew up at Tower Hill. “If our parents weren’t outdoors at home,” Sara says, “they were out here, at Tower Hill.” Over the years, many Christmas card photos were taken in the Lawn Garden, grandchildren would visit Grandma at work, and Martha was married overlooking the Wachusett Reservoir in 2000. John and Phyllis inspired their family to love gardening, appreciate nature, and value the Tower Hill community.

When Phyllis retired for a second time in 2001, a redbud tree was planted in the Inner Park in honor of her dedication to the Garden. When she passed away in 2015, the Stoddard Family created an endowed fund in her memory. Four years later after his death in 2019, a partner redbud tree was planted in memory of John. Tower Hill remains a special place for the Stoddard Family, connecting three generations. “I know how much it meant to our parents to be involved here,” Martha explains. “We want to continue to support the Garden. It connects us to our family.” “As an adult in this busy world,” Sara writes, “Tower Hill is a sanctuary for my wellbeing. I enter the Garden, separate myself from the stresses of the day, and enjoy the tranquility and sounds of nature. I can only hope that Tower Hill will continue to inspire a lasting interest in nature and the need for all of us to be stewards of the Earth.”


John Trexler: Remembering A Visionary When 32-year-old John Trexler arrived at Horticultural Hall in downtown Worcester for his first day as Executive Director of the Worcester County Horticultural Society, the organization had just two employees, no garden, and no chairman of its board. John’s dream — to create a nationally recognized botanic garden on a former dairy farm atop a hill — was visionary. Many doubted this dream could ever be realized. John led WCHS in acquiring the then 132-acre farm in Boylston in 1986. It laid the foundation for the Tower Hill we know today, which boasts seventeen gardens, two conservatories, miles of trails, and acres of conservation land. “It takes courage to start a new garden,” said current Tower Hill CEO Grace Elton. “Also, heavy doses of humor and savvy and a ‘won’t-take-no-for-an-answer’ attitude.” Because of John’s visionary dream, Tower Hill Botanic Garden did open. From modest beginnings in the 1980s,

in 2019, nearly 170,000 visitors connected to the natural world at the Garden. “I am exceeding grateful for my long tenure at WCHS,” Trexler, who retired in 2013, wrote in his memoir. “Few people are afforded the opportunity to create something so magnificent from scratch. The success of Tower Hill grew from a cadre of like-minded individuals who understood the vision and the importance of a botanic garden and generously supported it with resources and the sweat of their brows.” John passed away in November 2019 and the world lost a horticultural hero. John leaves a legacy of wisdom, diligence, and expertise that will continue to connect people and plants for generations through the gardens of Tower Hill. To learn more about John in his own words, visit the Garden Shop for a copy of his 2017 book, “Tower Hill, The First 25 Years: The Selective Memories of a Benign Dictator.”


2019 HIGHLIGHTS

Full STEAM Ahead At 9:30 every morning in late spring, a caravan of yellow school buses paraded up Fuller Drive, bringing excited school children to Tower Hill. Laughter could be heard throughout the property as students marveled at the fascinating kinetic sculptures by George Sherwood. Tower Hill’s youth field trips offered hands-on/minds-on STEAM* learning experiences for 4,500 children this past year. Their interaction with these disciplines continue to improve their understanding of the importance of the environment in everyday life. In addition to field trips, gardening activities like Learn & Grow and Little Seedlings enabled children to learn about the life cycle of plants, biodiversity, and climate change. During April Vacation Week, youth of all ages were encouraged to experiment, design, and build during STEAM-inspired activities. Many activities moved online in March 2020 so families could engage the natural world from home. Children who live in cities are typically more disconnected from the natural world. Understanding this, Tower Hill participates in Culture LEAP, an initiative of the Worcester Educational Development Foundation which seeks to break down the barriers that prevent many Worcester Public School students from participating in local cultural activities. For the past six years, every second grader from Worcester visits the Garden for a hands-on “Ecosystems Exploration” field trip to learn about local habitats. When young people gain understanding of the world around them, they are inspired to innovate and be committed to the environment throughout their lives.

*STEAM refers to Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Math


Restoring the Orchard For thirty years, as visitors crested the hill on Fuller Drive towards the Stoddard Center, the Frank L. Harrington, Sr. Orchard welcomed all to the Garden. However, in Fall 2019, that vista changed dramatically when over 200 heirloom apple trees were removed upon reaching the end of their lifespan. Around 2011, the orchard started showing signs of fire blight, a disease historically associated with warmer, southern conditions, demonstrating the impact of climate change. Fire blight enters trees through flower blossoms and young twigs, spreading quickly through vascular tissue, and killing the susceptible trees. Fire blight is difficult to manage once it infects a collection of trees. As Tower Hill fought to heal the Harrington Orchard, it became clear that restoration of the Orchard was the only way to save the collection. The Harrington Orchard displayed the Davenport Collection of 119 heirloom apple varieties, which were developed centuries ago by farmers, cider brewers, chefs, and orchardists including the Calville Blanc (named in 1598), Sops of Wine (c. 1600), Rhode Island Greening (c. 1650), and Esopus Spitzenburg (c. 1790).

During the Great Depression, Stearns Lothrop Davenport, Secretary of the Worcester County Horticultural Society, was charged with clearing abandoned apple orchards by the Works Progress Administration. Davenport worried he might be turning these rare apple trees into firewood, losing their unique genetic material and unusual histories forever. He began grafting scionwood from these varieties onto young trees in his own orchard in North Grafton. Russell Powell, author of Apples of New England, says Davenport may have done more to preserve heirloom apple varieties than anyone in the 20th century. Beginning in 2019, with the help of John Bunker, founder of Fedco Trees, Tower Hill is growing new trees on fire blight resistant rootstocks with scionwood gathered from the existing collection. The land will lay fallow until the spring of 2021 when the saplings will be re-planted. When news of the apple orchard’s plight spread via the publication of a New York Times article, members and nonmembers alike were inspired to contribute to the restoration efforts. With the expertise and generosity of many, a new orchard will arise with the old apple varieties in the hands of the next generation of stewards.

Marillyn Zacharis Marillyn Zacharis’s love for gardening, beginning with her father’s vegetable garden, culminated in the addition of Tower Hill’s newest garden – the Shade Garden, an inspirational oasis along the Loop Trail. Dedicated last fall, the shade garden was designed by Warren Leach and prepared and planted by members of the Tower Hill Horticulture team, Amy Nyman, Jim Nicewicz, and Mark Richardson. “A shade garden creates delicate beauty,” she explains, “from the first celebrations of spring to the needed relaxation in the shade during a summer heat wave

Growing Boldly

In a society that has become disconnected from nature despite mounting environmental challenges, Tower Hill must continue to keep these issues in the forefront of the public’s mind to ensure plants thrive for generations to come. Tower Hill’s newest 1.5-acre garden, The Ramble, designed by W. Gary Smith and Ryan Associates will do just that. The Ramble’s goal is to create space for handson learning for children and families. As Tower Hill’s visitation has doubled over the past five years and The Ramble is anticipated to bring even more
