GREEN SPACE
Contrasting colors, textures and shapes
of the unusual dwarf conifers in Hager's
collection - including weeping larch, Hinoki
false cypres and 'Montgomery' blue spruce
- stand out against a backdrop of taller
evergreens. Many were locally grown at the
Lyons Family Nursery in Newbury.
A Plant Lover's Garden
For nearly half a century, Carolyn Hager's green thumb has been hard
at work beautifying what was once a barren lot.
FOR TRUE PLANT LOVERS, the garden is
never done. There is always a new variety
to add, a different combination to try, or
an area of the design to tweak. Now that
the garden may lie under a blanket of
snow and the holiday hubbub has passed,
Carolyn Hager of New London is thinking

she'd like to make. " I'm always looking
in magazines and catalogs for something
new and different, " she says. Even though
her 1.3-acre lot is quite full, like a true
plant collector, she manages to find
spots for new acquisitions and divisions
of old favorites.
Hager and her husband own a twoand-a-half-story,
chalet-style house that
was purchased in 1976 as a vacation
home, and they became permanent
residents in 1983. " There was nothing
here for landscaping, " says Hager. " It was
a totally blank slate. "
One of her first actions was to join
the local garden club. " There was so
much to learn about gardening in a different
state. I had gardened in New Jersey
and Massachusetts and brought pieces of
some of those plants with me, but this is
zone 4 and the weather can be unpredictable.
I picked up a lot of tips, ideas and
new plants from the other members, " she
explains. " The New London Garden Club
also offered great programs on topics like
container gardening, new plants on the
market, and slideshows from famous gardens
that were inspirational. " Slowly but
