The Gates Mills Garden Club presents
Through the Garden Gate
|
The Gates Mills Garden Club is pleased to present Through the Garden Gate Garden Tour, an outstanding event featuring private gardens, speakers, a garden-inspired boutique and for the first time ever, an artist capturing on canvas the serene beauty of a summer garden.
Our “Plein Air” artist, Mary Ann Boysen, has her own distinctive style just as each garden has its own distinctive qualities. “Plein Air” is a French term for painting scenes on location in open air. You are invited to watch the magic unfold as she paints one of the gardens at Esquire’s Cottage in Gates Mills.
This is a very special opportunity for you to own an original work of art as a wonderful reminder of the extraordinary 2019 Gates Mills Garden Tour. A raffle for the painting will be held the last day of the Garden Tour. Funds raised through this collaboration will go towards scholarships and community outreach. For more information on our artist, Mary Ann Boysen, please visit her website: http://www.maboysen.com
Also NEW for 2019! This year the Garden Tour is welcoming speakers to the Garden Tour.
On Friday, John Reinier, Wetland Ecologist for the Cleveland Metroparks, will present “Natural Gardens along the Chagrin River” and will include a walk-through of the Gates Mills Arboretum that runs along the river. For over 80 years the Gates Mills Garden Club has been the steward of the Arboretum, a riverside park at the foot of the Pedestrian Bridge in the heart of the Village.
On Saturday, Marcia Anselmo, President of the Gates Mills Historical Society, will present information on the interurban rail service that once ran through the center of Gates Mills.
