The Rocks Estate (1882 - 1906) - signage: Christmas Tree Farm
Bethlehem, New Hampshire USA • I was invited to teach a public workshop at this amazing spot in neighboring New Hampshire.
Nestled in the heart of the White Mountains, The Rocks Estate is a 1,400-acre protected reserve that serves as the North Country Conservation and Education Center for the non-profit organization, the Society for the Protection of New Hampshire Forests. Featuring more than 13 buildings on the National Historic Register, The Rocks' Heritage Trail evokes the gilded era of a century ago of long vacations in the refreshing summer air of the White Mountains.
Once a self-sustaining farm, The Rocks is now home to the Forest Society's sustainable Christmas tree farm. Each year trees are carefully hand-shaped and wreaths are meticulously decorated to raise money for land conservation in New Hampshire.
☞ The grounds and gardens were designed by Frederick Law Olmsted's company in the early 1900's. His company advised on all of the landscaping including the striking stone walls.
