Families with school-age children may be focused on surviving the beginning of another school year—and to them I say hurray for Ladybug Day! The rest of us can enjoy the beginning of the glorious harvest season, and our annual plant sale is a fine way to celebrate it. The first weekend, coming up, our hort staff will be on hand to help you make choices tailored to your green-space needs.
You will see, as the season unfolds, that fall exhibition-related programming happens every weekend, all in celebration of the tenth anniversary of our gallery space for emerging artists. This week it’s a workshop and a dance performance.
