Bring Spring Inside! - Simple Floral Decorations Demo

Wednesday, April 13: 6:30 pm - 8:30 pm

If you have had enough of this tough winter and are impatient for convincing signs that spring is here, join us for our spring floral decoration demonstration. Cedar Grove Gardens' extraordinary floral designer and buyer/merchandiser Lisa Ahern will show how to create simple but dazzling decorations to brighten up your home, doorway or holiday table using spring flowers, bulbs and kitchen garden plants. As an added bonus, Lisa will show how to set up a show-stopping terrarium and will offer advice about planting and arranging your own outdoor containers. Those attending will leave with lots of great ideas and have a chance to win a raffle of some items created during the session. The session will run from 6:30 until 8:30 pm. Space is limited so please pre-register by calling 617-333-0924. Suggested donation is $15.

Estate's Chickens on Display at Maple Sugar Days

This year's annual Maple Sugar Days at the DCR's Brookwood Farm had some extra attractions, including 3 of the Wakefield Estate's chickens and mobile coop! The estate and other members of the newly-formed Blue Hills Collaborative brought some element of their operation to share with the public. The Collaborative, whose members include many of the area's organizations, seeks to enhance the natural systems, public persception and use of the Blue Hill region through partnerships between organizations involved in education, conservation and environmental stewardship. Look for more information about the Blue Hill Collaborative in coming months. We hope that our united efforts lead to stronger public service and presence in the future.
