Cricket Hill Garden

27th Annual Peony Festival

We invite you to Cricket Hill Garden’s 27th anniversary peony festival this spring. You are invited to join peony lovers from near and far at Peony Heaven to see a rare collection of mature peonies in a lovely, peaceful setting. Some of the tree peonies in our display garden are reaching an impressive size and age, with many plants now over 25 years old. 

 Our tree peonies will begin to bloom the week of May 12th. Early blooms are open now, with many to follow. Expect a good show of tree peonies from May 16th to May 31st. We anticipate that the herbaceous and intersectional peonies will bloom as they usually do, starting near the third week of May. Call us at (860) 283-1042 or email us (info@crickethillgarden.com) for bloom updates.

Special Garden Event: Sunday, May 15th and May 22nd

2:00 pm to 2:30 - Dan Furman will lead a garden walk to discuss what we are growing and what is in bloom. Bring your walking shoes for our hillside garden. Limited to 20 participants.

If you are in the area of northwestern Connecticut, please come and say hello, stroll the garden, bring a picnic to eat by the pond, and most of all, enjoy the peonies. The garden is open during business hours and there is no admission fee.

We have a good selection of peonies, fruit trees and berry bushes potted up in our sales area. Come take a look and find something new to add to your garden.
