PAWTUCKET – The Preservation Society of Pawtucket on June 6 will host University of Rhode Island Master Gardener Jeff Rossi at the Spaulding-Johnson House for a lecture on historic herb gardening.
Tours of the house, built in 1828 in the federalist style, will be offered prior to the lecture. The location is 30 Fruit St. The lecture begins at 6 p.m.
Rossi, a lifelong gardener, is now working with the Glocester Heritage Society to construct a historically accurate fence that will contain a Colonial era medicinal garden, based on the years Dr. Reuben Mason lived in the house in the 1790s.
Mary MacDonald is a PBN staff writer.
