__NOTOC__ The Beacon Hill Garden Club (est. 1928) of Boston, Massachusetts, is a private civic group devoted to green spaces and urban beautification in the neighborhood of Beacon Hill and elsewhere in the city.〔Friends of the Public Garden. (Beacon Hill Garden Club to Donate $55,000 to the Friends ). Nov. 17, 2010〕 Founders of the club include artist Gertrude Beals Bourne.〔D Roger Howlett; Patricia Hills. Gertrude Beals Bourne: artist in Brahmin Boston (1868-1962). Boston, Mass.: Copley Square Press; distributed by Northeastern University Press, 2004.〕 As of 2011, it aims to encourage "the love of horticulture and urban gardening" and to support "environmental conservation and civic improvement."〔(Beacon Hill Garden Club website ). Retrieved 2011-05-19〕 Since 1929, the club has organized an annual behind-the-scenes tour of selected private gardens in Beacon Hill.〔Margo Miller. Hidden gardens: A Beacon Hill tradition marks 70th anniversary. Boston Globe. Boston, Mass.: May 16, 1999〕 "They say if you can garden on Beacon Hill, you can garden anywhere in Boston. With more shade than sun, with soil that is laced with brick dust (from the old paved laundry yards), with imperious tree roots that heave up brickwork, it's a challenge to make a hidden garden something worth showing the public."〔Margo Miller. Beacon Hill gardens come out of hiding. Boston Globe, Apr 26, 1991.〕 ==See also== * Garden club * Urban horticulture 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Beacon Hill Garden Club」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
