Connecticut Historic Garden Day
June 23
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.

Please join us for the museum’s annual volunteer appreciation reception. Hors d’oeuvres will be served at 5:30 p.m.
At 6:30 p.m., watch your friends test their word knowledge in an encore run-through of the Webster’s War of the Words game show. There are several audience participation rounds so bring your thinking cap! (We are looking for six volunteers to be contestants. Let us know if you are interested.)

Please bring gloves, clippers, shears, small rakes, and water. We will do some shrub trimming, dead heading of the roses, planting hostas, weeding, and spreading mulch. Many hands make light work. Hope you can help.
Please join us to garden at Noah Webster House from 8:00 am to 10:00 am. Please remember to bring your gardening tools.
