The Ouch House
Marc Raibert, owner of the Ouch House in Carlisle, confirmed our visit to his Succulent and Cactus Greenhouse. on Friday, June 9, 2023, at 10:00 AM. Marc, along with Art Scarpa, founder, past-president and current vice president of the Cactus and Succulent Society of New England, gave us a tour of the greenhouse. His giant Saguaro Cactus blooms in June. Hopefully our visit will be in time to see this beautiful Arizona native in bloom.
Marc Raibert is the founder of Boston Dynamics, a robotics company. This unusual greenhouse is located at his residence in Carlisle, Massachusetts. Judy Storer’s son Jonathan helped build the greenhouse. Expecting an interesting day – what we got was amazing inspiration. The garden was planted inside a giant heated geodesic dome creating a southern desert environment in the Northeast. Large cacti had been trucked in to live full time in the pseudo-desert.
