Mr. Emerson’s Garden
Nature was a very large part of Emerson's philosophy, his approach to life, and his motivation. When he purchased his home on Concord’s Cambridge Turnpike in 1835, he immediately started planting trees. In his poem "Hamatreya" is the thought that the "Earth laughs in flowers."
These photos are of the Emerson House garden in June 2021 and include the beautiful tulip tree, which we believe may have already been on the property when Emerson arrived.
