Lighthouse & Roses

Nancy Howell

Once the snow melts, if you're like me, you want to enjoy your garden as much as possible.  I found a way to buy some extra time, and I want to share it with you.   If you're in the Boston area, shop for  Passover, Easter, Mother's Day and even Father's Day gifts at Kennedy's Country Gardens Arts Fest on February 20 and 21 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.  Painters, jewelers and potters will be on hand with an array of tempting presents.  Music by The Brother's Duo and nibbles from P.J.'s Country House and Nancy McDonough will round out the festivities.  Pat Tigger the nursery cat. Say hello to Keoki the parrot and Marty the Macaw and linger in the greenhouses for a much needed breath of spring.  Take home a colorful Cyclamen, lush succulent or sculpture. 

Cancer Garden of Hope

We all know someone—a relative, a friend, a colleague— who has been diagnosed with cancer.  This spring the Cancer Garden of Hope will be planted on Boston City Hall Plaza to honor survivors, those living with or lost to the disease.  The design is being finalized for the healing garden and will be planted as soon as weather permits.  It will be paved with personalized bricks and plaques.  Show your support with a lasting tribute to a special person by ordering one today.  

Hope in Bloom will receive half of any order (less the cost of the brick or plaque) placed through our site or if selected on the Cancer Garden of Hope order form.  Everyone who purchases a commemorative brick or plaque will be invited to the opening ceremonies in June.
