Enjoy stunning flower arrangements by floral artists interpreting works of art in the Griswold House, the Marshfield House, and in the exhibition Dana Sherwood: Animal Appetites and Other Encounters in Wildness, on June 10th, 11th & 12th.
And get tickets for the festive annual garden luncheon on June 10th with guest speaker author Marta McDowell, author of Unearthing The Secret Garden: The Plants & Places That Inspired Frances Hodgson Burnett. Ms. McDowell has made a career of exploring the relationship between the pen and the trowel…that is, writers and their gardens. The subjects of her lavishly-illustrated, award-winning books have included Beatrix Potter, Laura Ingalls Wilder, and Emily Dickinson. You won’t want to miss this enchanting exploration of the gardening inspirations behind one of literature’s greatest treasures, which will surely inspire you to unlock the secret magic in your own garden.
