Chebacco Chats: The Somesville Museum’s Heirloom Gardens, with Joy Lyons

REGISTER HERE

Master Gardener Joy Lyons will talk about her process of creating and maintaining the Somesville Museum’s stunning heirloom gardens, how they have evolved, and how she and her team select and maintain the plants each season. Home to the iconic footbridge over the Mill Pond, the gardens are a beautiful year-round oasis in the heart of Somesville.


Chebacco Chats, our weekly web series, features authors, historians, and others who study and celebrate history, the great place that is Mount Desert Island, and the way the island impacts the wider world.

The Chats are live on Zoom, and recordings are made available the week after they air.
