Locust Grove Estate

Landscape designer and author Jana Milbocker spoke about her new book, Gardens of the Gilded Age, at today's fundraiser to benefit our ongoing garden restoration. Afternoon tea was provided by Sugar & Spice Cafe and Spice Catering and featured recipes from our archives and tea from Harney and Harney & Sons Fine Teas . Hudson Valley Seed Co. generously donated poppy seeds for our favors. An extra thank you to Matt and Natalie, who got married at Licust Grove on Saturday and allowed us to repurpose their florals, all of which where grown by Natalie's mom and sister. We are already planning next year's tea; if you missed today's event and would like to purchase a copy kf Jana Milbocker's book a limited number of signed copies are available in our shop.

It's been a busy week at Locust Grove Historic Site. We are so grateful to Hudson Valley Bridge Builders for their service every day! They worked in our gardens, helped out with some chair maintenance in the Visitor's Center and even got a head start on a few new pumpkins for Pumpkin Grove. The gardens - especially the zinnia's - are starting to show some color. We hosted Dutchess County Executive Sue Serino's Women's Networking Event on Thursday and we are ending the week with a wedding tonight - Congratulations Anna and Matt!
