Shearing of the Heather

  • John Hay Estate at The Fells 456 Rt 103 Newbury, NH 03255 United States (map)

Since 1996 the Northeast Heather Society have guided and assisted The Fells in this important annual task.  Please come join our Landscape staff this year! Shearing last season’s flower heads from atop these sub-shrubs improves their vibrant display of color that we all enjoy from late July to early September.  It also improves the health and vigor of the plants overall.  Learn the appropriate technique and care for the genus Calluna and genus Erica. Please dress appropriately for the weather! Sponsored in part by the Northeast Heather Society.

This event is free to all but advance reservation is required as space is limited. Contact 603-763-4789 x3 or email info@thefells.org to register.
