GREEN SPACE
Gardeners' Glory
A star of the Garden Conservancy Open Days Tour, this gem with nods to Monet's Giverny
features abundant perennials, unique trees, vegetables and much more set amid meandering
paths that lead to a pond and a cozy teahouse.
LAST YEAR Ellen and Bruce Clement of
Westmoreland celebrated half a century
on their hillside farm. " We bought this
property in 1973 as a 'stepping stone'
sheep farm. Little did we know we'd still
be here 50 years later! " says Bruce, who
started raising sheep as a 4-H project
when he was 10 years old.
As soon as they moved to the property
- little more than a small house and a
one-car garage at the time - they took on
several challenges: clearing and fencing
the fields, tripling the size of the house,
building a big pole barn, moving the
driveway and replacing the garage with a
charming lattice-walled gazebo.
Fifteen of their 20 acres were devoted
to pastureland for their flock of 50 ewes
and replacement lambs. Along with
breeding stock and meat lambs, they sold
value-added products including sheepskins,
woolen blankets and prize-winning
Pyrenees-style sheep milk cheese. All this
while raising three children and working
full time, Ellen as a registered nurse
and Bruce as an agricultural educator for
UNH Cooperative Extension.
Once the kids were grown, sheep
were gone and both had retired, they
focused their energy on their landscape,
creating many gorgeous gardens. Now
abundant flowering perennials, interesting
annuals and collections of unique
trees and shrubs flow from one garden
to the next, drawing you deeper into
the property.
