  • Plein Air On Location – Wayside Inn and Gristmill in Sudbury

    The Wayside Inn is a lovely and historic complex spread out over several acres. There is the Inn itself dating back to the 1700s which is open to the public (fun period rooms upstairs and restaurant downstairs), a small formal garden to the right of the Inn and a pond in behind. A short (3 minute) walk away is the much photographed Grist Mill and a larger picturesque pond (in behind), the little red school house and the Martha Mary chapel, a white steepled little church straight out of a Norman Rockwell painting.  You can walk to the Mill site, or drive and park.

  • Plein Air On Location (Thursday!) – Codman Estate with Cathy Manwaring

    The Codman Estate never fails to please. There is a turn of the century Italian garden behind the 1740s mansion with a gazing pond filled with lily pads and frogs, plus statuary and lovely plantings. Further down from the mansion there is a carriage house with a fenced in rose arbor garden (c. 1930s) in behind and acres of walled fields in front. There are tree lined paths and a short walk away (5 minutes) a working farm with lovely old white barns, chickens, pigs and a thriving farm store. If you are lucky the big brown bulls will be out in the fields, and behind the estate there is a large pen with llamas. Something for everyone!
