Grace Coburn is the horticulturist for the Isabella Stewart Gardner museum. The Boston landmark is familiar to many South Shore homeowners, and certainly generations of school children have toured the collections and gardens as part of their education. In a neat Boston Magazine article, Coburn shares what her typical day is like. It’s eye opening to learn exactly how much work goes into keeping the gardens looking great.
South Shore homeowners want great looking lawns. They don’t necessarily have to be at the same exceptional standard as the world-renowned Isabella Stewart Gardner museum, but they have to be quite nice. The work load involved in creating and maintaining a great South Shore lawn is pretty significant, especially when we’ve had a couple of tough growing seasons. This means the South Shore homeowner has a choice:
Devote precious free time to learning the intricacies of horticulture to ensure you’re feeding, mowing, and aerating your lawn properly
OR
Trust the professionals to do it?
The DIY approach is great if you have nothing else to do with your free time. Coburn mentioned how peaceful it is to spend hours of her day pulling weeds, rotating plants, and caring for the garden. That same sense of peace can be found mowing the lawn and taking on the challenge of pest control – but you can also find that restful bliss by sleeping in on a Saturday morning, or making a quick getaway to the Cape, or just hanging out with your family and favorite people.
