Garden Affair

We have an exciting lineup of events for our Garden Affair. To kickoff the four days we will have an opening cocktail party with wonderful food, drinks, and company. We will feature various lectures the following days by many regional and international experts and garden enthusiasts. Workshops will be arranged throughout the event for both children and adults.
Highlights include Thursday's 60's themed Flower Power cocktail party, best selling author Andrea Wulf's Friday night lecture, Saturday's lecture on Culinary Gardening from Sara Gasbarra of Verdura, and Sunday's tea sampling and lecture to celebrate Mother's Day.
