Enjoy this special state-wide celebration of Connecticut’s stunning historic gardens with special events and activities at member sites, celebrating their gardens. Choose the gardens in your own backyard, or plan a daytrip to see those further afield. Visit the Butler-McCook House & Garden and walk through our historic Jacob Weidenmann Garden, installed by Eliza Butler McCook and her sister Mary in 1865. Today the garden is lovingly maintained by The West Hartford Garden Club.
