Backyard Compact Apple Orchard  Interested in turning a small corner of your yard into an orchard? Join us for a hands-on workshop to install a high-density 40-tree apple orchard in a 20 x 40 foot corner of the estate. Participants will learn how to plant and manage a productive orchard on a relatively small piece of land. Afterward, we will celebrate with some light refreshments. Suggested donation $15.

This semester, Boston University preservation studies student Maria Kohls is undertaking additional research on the owners and occupants of the Wakefield estate in order to complete the final nomination to the National Register of Historic Places. In this photo, Maria examines one of the original deeds dating back to the early 18th century. Graduate students from Boston University and Simmons College have made important contributions to the ongoing historical research on the estate. |
