Trade Secrets

I look forward to this weekend every year – it’s the annual Trade Secrets garden event in Sharon, CT! This year’s Trade Secrets is very meaningful to me, as it is the 10th Anniversary year. I have watched this event grow from a fledgling garden sale in my backyard to an event that includes over 60 garden and antique dealers. This year’s highlights include four garden tours featuring the gardens of Joan Larned, Monika & Buddy Nixon, Robert Couturier and Jeffrey Morgan, and my own. In addition, there will also be a Saturday afternoon lecture, entitled “Abstraction; Art, Home & Landscape,” by Tom Armstrong, director emeritus of the Whitney Museum of American Art, and chairman of the board of the Garden Conservancy. As always, the weekend’s events benefit the Women’s Support Services of the Northwestern Connecticut, an organization that helps women who are victims of domestic violence.

The weekend promises to be full of interesting plants , interesting accessories, and interesting people …and the weather forecast looks perfect!

From the bottom of my heart, I thank everyone who has made Trade Secrets such a success, especially Elaine LaRoche, owner of LionRock Farm.
