In Person: Summer Garden Tour: Mary Hodgkin’s Cape Elizabeth Home

This summer, Wild Seed Project is inviting you into the yards of our members to see first-hand what biodiversity looks like at home. Our members will share stories about their personal habitat restoration journeys, and the challenges and joys they have encountered along the way as they have tackled invasive plants, experimented with leaving their leaves in place, cut back on mowing, and restored habitat with rich arrays of native plants. Tours will feature urban oases of bustling backyard meadows, neighbors who are working together to transform a suburban neighborhood, pristine coastal landscapes with formal garden plantings, and much more.

Tour Mary Hodgkin’s lovely coastal garden at her home in Cape Elizabeth. Mary is an inspiring and experienced plant-enthusiast whose yard includes both more formal and more wild spaces. A diversity of native trees, shrubs, vines and wildflowers grow around terraces, stone walls, and a fire pit, while her yard is also replete with a mini woodland, a meadow, a vegetable garden and fruit trees.

Parking: Please arrive on time and park at the Cape Elizabeth Town Hall. WSP staff will coordinate a carpool over to Mary’s home on Two Lights Terrace.
