About this Event
College Hill Gardeners is pleased to present the 2024 walk of seven sites thoughtfully chosen to showcase horticultural beauty surrounding our stately homes, to reveal the revival of our neighborhood's rich agricultural history, and to experience a purposeful collection of mature trees on a quiet residential campus. You'll appreciate the diversity of gardening styles, including a bonus children's garden, and observe practices reflective of their originators' personalities and intentions, the creative reuse of materials, and small farm operations, including animal care and food cooperatives. Each site description within the walk packet features several plant specimen, distinctive structural elements, or an interesting bit of relevant history. Find the answer to questions--How old is the barn at Bahr Farm? What are the oaks at The Oaks? Where is Greeno Woods? Want to dig in? More detailed information will be available through scan codes and maps, too! Follow CHG @collegehillgardeners and #wedigthehill as the walk approaches.
CHG supports conservation and restoration efforts underway right here in our community. Proceeds from pass sales fund ongoing beautification of public spaces, educational programs for our Wee Sprouts, lecture series and outings for members and guests, and free events held to grow community pride. We Dig the Hill!
All but one site on this year's walk is located within Old College Hill depicted here in the Strobridge Lithograph circa 1865 showing Farmer's College (now Aiken High School, Site 6) along Belmont Ave. (left fork) and the Model Farm (now homes) further up Hamilton Ave. across from the church. Historic Bahr Farm, Site 7, sits far to the east on W. North Bend Rd. Sites 1-5 are along Belmont Ave. or just a block off on Glenview, Llanfair, and Lathrop Pl. The bonus children's garden is located at College Hill Recreation Center, adjacent to Aiken High School. On-street and lot parking is plentiful, but spaces are limited at Site 7.
