The Life From The Roots blog topics have changed several times since I began this blog in 2009. I initially wrote only about the family history I had been working on for 20 years. Years later, I was into visiting gardens, historical homes, churches, libraries that had genealogical collections, historical societies, war memorials, and travel/tourism places. I also enjoy posting autographs and photos of famous people I've met or have seen.

Along with my New England roots, other areas include New York, New Jersey, Michigan, Illinois, Wisconsin, and the Eastern Townships of Quebec, Canada.

Please check out the labels on the right side for topics (please note, they need work). Below the labels and pageviews is a listing of my top nine posts, according to Google. Four of them pertain to Lowell, MA. These posts change often because they are based on what people are reading.

Old House In Concord, MA...Who Lived Here? You Probably Know

Actually, this is a reproduction, and I am quite sure you have heard of the name of the person who lived here for two years, two months and two days. The original 
was next to a pond, a few miles away. See below for the answer.



The tombstone for Henry D. Thoreau is HERE, I posted it to my blog in May 2010.

Tower Hill Botanic Garden, Boylston, Massachusetts


  Tower Hill Botanic Garden
11 French Drive
Boylston, MA 01505-0598

Camilla bushes bloom in February. Nice color to add to winter.
Nice display of spring flowers, indoors on a cold day.

The Marjorie Doyle Rockwell Orangerie opened to the public on January 31, 1999 and is a hybrid of an 18th-century orangerie and a modern conservatory. The glass roof on the Orangerie admits a great deal of light, allowing non-hardy plants to be grown in the winter. 

The Limonaia, or Lemon House, opened in 2010. The cathedral-like interior reflects the architecture of a traditional lemon house, with a windowed south wall for optimal winter light, augmented with overhead glazing to admit more light.

Since the garden is open year-round, you can visit almost anytime. The two enclosed conservatories (in the same building) are filled with blooming plants and fruits like sweet smelling oranges, lemons and limes. And, often you'll seCamellias in bloom in winter. We were members for about eight years. Now we visit just to see special exhibits.
The annual daffodils keep multiplying to present their show.

Lots of places to walk with nice views.




























Fall crocuses above.


Lots of woods with trails.






Christmas at Tower Hill Botanic Garden
For many years, the building would be beautifully decorated inside by many of the garden clubs in the area. There was always a theme. About two years ago, they decided to decorate outside and have a light display at night. This photo from a few years ago shows the main hall, it extends to the outside.


View of Wachusett Reservoir and mountain of the same name.

 This flyer is quite old, so I imagine some things have changed.


I have decided not to use the Comment feature for my blog. If you would like to leave a comment for me or ask a question, please write me at my email: BarbaraPoole@Gmail.com. Thank you.

My reason is because since November 2017 to May 2018, I received no comments, but upon investigating I found that I had indeed received 167 legitimate ones and 1,000 were in the spam folder. Google Blogger had made some changes that I was unaware of. Please be aware that I do not know who reads my blog, I may know who subscribes, but that is all.
