Our Beatrix Farrand Garden continues to be a key part of our work in restoring and maintaining the land, and in our outreach to individuals. Visitors to the garden on the annual Garden Open Days have included local residents as well as those drawn from farther afield thanks to our affiliation with and participation in the Connecticut Historic Garden consortium.
The garden was in a photo shoot in early July 2005 for an article produced and written by noted garden writer Tovah Martin, to appear in the December 2005 issue of Renovation Style Magazine.
Participants in other Promisek programs also enjoy the opportunity to stroll the peaceful paths of the garden.
