1 - The grounds of the Frost Place in Franconia, NH include a 55 tree heirloom apple orchard, a meadow and a Poetry/Botany trail that rings this seven acre site.

2 - After Treefrog redesigned and upgraded the Poetry/Botany trail we created this brochure as a trail guide to accompany visitors.

3 - A trailside poem resides silently in a grove of white pines. Treefrog selected sixteen of Frost’s poems which in turn were silk screened onto weatherproofed birch.

4 - Signage along the trail explains the names of 54 native species. This white (and chlorophyll-free) flower rearing its head is Indian Pipe, Monotropa uniflora.

5 - We designed this trail with the intention of sharing three of Frost’s passions, poetry, botany and pomology.

6 - Afternoon light filters down onto a bench at edge of the young orchard.

7 - This sunlit meadow was dense brush in the recent past. Treefrog cleared out an area slightly larger than an acre and planted over fifty old New England standard apple trees. Every June these purple lupine flowers light up more and more of this meadow. In the spring of ‘04 we planted over a thousand native plant plugs in this meadow and along the trail.

8 - Robert Frost in his study in Franconia, circa 1916.

9 - A recently renovated planting bed adjacent to the Frost House containing Ostrich Ferns, Foamflower and Bloodroot.
