Plan to wear closed-toe shoes for the garden and historic site walkabout.

Arrive and view fall flowers, prairie natives, heirloom vegetables and herbs while you sip wine or a signature cocktail. (The surprise signature cocktail in a commemorative glass is $10 so please bring cash. Refills are a suggested $5 donation. Wine and other beverages and the food buffet are covered in your ticket price.)

Meet at the George Street bridge, a half a block west of Route 12, at 4 p.m. The group will adjourn about 5 p.m. to Montelona Farm off Broadway Road for food, fellowship, flowers and frivolity. Hope to see you there!
