Join Shoals Marine Laboratory (SML) for a tour of the re-creation of Celia Thaxter's famous Appledore Island garden which is temporarily relocated in Prescott Park, Portsmouth, NH. Led by SML Executive Director Dr. Jennifer Seavey and Garden Steward Terry Cook, this tour will cover who Celia Thaxter was, what she planted in this iconic garden, and how SML has supported its history through the years.
SML will be hosting three separate tours this summer, each lasting approximately 45 minutes. Registration is FREE; however, each tour is limited to 20 spaces, and guests are limited to one tour. We look forward to seeing you at the park this summer!
