2024 RESOURCE GUIDE

Trade Secrets Resource Guide

We are so excited to welcome you to the 24th annual Trade Secrets Event in support of Project SAGE.

Trade Secrets began over 20 years ago as a small plant and antique garden ornaments sale in my garden. But through the hard work of an amazing committee and a group of volunteers, it has become the finest horticulture event in New England. The event is the major fundraiser for Project SAGE, which provides programming focused on support, advocacy, guidance, and education, as well as legal, medical, housing and other assistance to fulfill its mission of creating a community free of domestic violence and abuse covering the Northeast Corner of Connecticut and surrounding communities of New York and Massachusetts.

This year, we are excited to once again be back at Lime Rock Park hosting the Trade Secrets sale event. We thank the owners of the Park for hosting us again this year in this fabulous location. Our deepest appreciation also goes to this year’s garden tour hosts for opening their homes and gates on Saturday for the many attendees from both near and far to enjoy.

The TRADE SECRETS RESOURCE GUIDE has become a much-appreciated source of information for our attendees. It contains useful information on the area’s premier landscape professionals, home designers, home and garden destinations, lodging, dining, and more. We hope you will enjoy it, and find it a useful guide to the area’s best businesses.

We want to thank all those who advertise in the TRADE SECRETS RESOURCE GUIDE. Their dollars, along with the contributions of many generous individuals and organizations, enable Project SAGE to fulfill its mission. We also want to recognize the many, many hours devoted by Project SAGE volunteers. Without their dedication and hard work, Trade Secrets would not have become such an outstanding event.

This beautiful event for a wonderful cause would not be possible without YOU, our generous event attendees. Thank you, thank you for your enthusiasm and support. Enjoy this weekend and know that you have made a difference in the lives of the many families and individuals in crisis who rely on Project SAGE to help them on the path toward a healthy, safe future.

With much appreciation,

Trade Secrets Artist Spotlight

Sally Pettus “Lightning Tree” Bronze, Gold Leaf

A lightning strike sliced through her beloved, century-old White Elm tree, inspiring sculptor Sally Pettus to immortalize it. Pettus asked the arborist to save the bark so she could create her “Lightning Tree”. She carved it, creating her own flame pattern. At the foundry, the bark was bronzed and pure molten gold filled the shell of the tree. As a reminder, the Elm still stands with a large black mark from the strike.

About the Sculptor

Renowned artist/sculptor and longtime resident of Sharon and New York City, Sally Pettus has presented her highly acclaimed collections, one person exhibitions, group exhibitions and bronze commissions in galleries such as Peter Findlay Gallery, across the United States since the early 70’s.

The Garden of Bunny Williams & John Rosselli

The property of Bunny Williams and John Rosselli encompasses twelve acres of varied gardens, including woodland, vegetable, parterre, orchard, perennial borders and many container displays that surround the 1840’s Federal home.

A mowed path through the orchard and meadow leads to the pool house, a Greek Revival folly made with rustic, locally harvested oak columns. Uphill from the pool is Bunny’s Studio: an inspiring contemporary place with an impressive view of the Berkshire Hills. From the Studio, paths weave their way through the Woodland Garden, past carpets of ferns, wildflowers, woodland peonies, and an understory of dogwoods and redbuds. The Woodland Garden opens up into Elizabeth’s Circle, a contemplative and calming space where large boxwood balls tumble down the hill from the woods edge. Stone steps lead down to the Parterre, located behind the Conservatory and guest barn. Brick walkways, covered in moss, are surrounded by patterned boxwood hedges that edge seasonally planted beds, allowing for a different color scheme each year. Beyond the Conservatory, which showcases tropicals, a pergola leads visitors around the main house to a series of Belgian-style swooped yew hedges that frame a mass planting of hydrangeas. Just past the hedges is a sunken garden, filled with bold mixed borders and box-edged beds, brimming with perennials, annuals, and bulbs, including a granite edged koi pond. In the middle of the property is also a vegetable & cutting garden; a great variety of organic vegetables and herbs are grown along with tulips, peonies and dahlias from spring through fall in symmetrically designed square beds, edged with antique terracotta tile. Unused produce makes its way to the chickens, which are housed in an extraordinary octagonal coop.

Visitors will most likely have the pleasure of meeting Bunny and John, as they enjoy sharing their garden with their guests.

Christopher Spitzmiller & Anthony Bellomo’s

Clove Brook Farm

The garden at Clove Brook Farm was begun in 2014 following a full restoration of the circa 1830s Greek Revival farmhouse on the property. The garden has quickly grown into a series of interconnected spaces, beginning with a horseshoe-shaped garden near the house that is surrounded by a clipped hornbeam hedge and anchored by a dovecote. It's this garden where a spectacular show of tulips and sweet peas emerges in spring, followed by towering dahlias in late summer. A few years ago another large garden "room" was added which centers on an oval swimming pool and neoclassical style pool house. This garden is also bounded by a hornbeam hedge and includes perimeter beds filled with various herbaceous perennials which evolve throughout the growing season, starting with poppies in early spring, then peonies, roses, lilies, and finally dahlias. A large kitchen garden has also been added, designed in a formal style, and planted with a large variety of vegetables during the growing season. The garden continues to evolve as embellishments to the formal garden spaces are added, and informal and naturalistic plantings are installed at the edge of the property. The evolution of the garden has been documented in A Year at Clove Brook Farm (Rizzoli, 2021), with foreword by Martha Stewart.

Page Dickey’s Garden

A gravel path cuts through a garden of native and non-native perennials and shrubs in front of Church House the 18th c. Methodist church that is now our home. Species roses should be in bloom around the patterned cutting garden in back of the house. Mowed paths strike off through meadows that embrace the garden, leading to trails in our woods on the west side, high and rocky with marble outcroppings, on the east side, low, damp and fernfilled. A boardwalk allows you to walk through a small fen, a calcareous wetland rich with native shrubs and wildflowers. The 17 acre property is not deer-fenced, so we share the garden with deer (as well as rabbits and voles), and more happily with friends.

Wethersfield Estate & Garden

Wethersfield Estate & Garden occupies 1,000 acres in northeast Dutchess County, where it is the highest point in the region with an elevation of 1,200 feet. From that vantage point, it offers majestic views of the Berkshires, the Catskills and the Taconic Hills. Comprised of a Georgian-style house–classical gardens, a carriage house, and a farm, Wethersfield Estate & Garden is generally considered to be one of the finest examples of Italian Renaissance gardens in the United States. Founded by Citigroup heir, philanthropist and investor, Chauncey Stillman, in 1938, Wethersfield Estate & Garden is now a non-profit organization devoted to the proper stewardship of land, habitat protection, conservation, culture, and the arts. Wethersfield hosts a diversity of formal and native-inspired garden spaces, such as an Arts and Crafts English perennial garden, cut flower garden, hedged yew topiaries and mature tree specimens, and 20 miles of trails for equestrian activities and hiking. Wethersfield strives to integrate the latest horticultural knowledge to maintain a sustainable and historical garden in a changing world. Wethersfield Estate & Garden is on the National Register of Historic Places and was awarded the 2021 New York State Historic Preservation Award for Excellence in Historic Landscape Preservation.
