Join us as we explore the enchanting world of Victorian gardens with Southington's Barnes Museum curator, Christina Volpe. Her presentation, "Beyond the Walls: Victorian Gardens and Landscapes," will cover how Victorian gardens served as expressions of wealth and status, offering spaces for leisure and socializing. Learn about key design elements, plant selections, and ornamental features that defined Victorian landscapes, and uncover the social significance of these gardens as hubs for entertainment and well-being.
Celebrate Spring with us at this Gilded Age Tea! Sit and sip tea around beautifully decorated tables as you sample a selection of savory treats while Christina Volpe enlightens us on Victorian Era gardens and landscapes. You can also take a little bit of Spring home with you - we'll have a beautiful selection of annuals, perennials, and house plants for sale!
