Join expert horticulturist, naturalist, and Innisfree trustee Brad Roeller to explore and enjoy Innisfree’s spring blooming beauties. He will point out both native and garden species. Some are spring ephemerals, meaning the plants are only visible in the spring. Others are tiny gems that are easy to miss but once Brad points them out, you’ll be watching for them year after year. Still more add to landscape beauty and environmental health throughout the growing season.

You don’t need to understand the rules of the game to enjoy a champagne lunch and ringside seats to the fast-paced action. Of course, the people-watching is as much a part of the fun, and if you don’t arrive sporting a big-brimmed hat, there will be opportunities to buy one. And speaking of buying, this event sells out early, so if you’re interested, don’t wait till the week before. (No General Admission, everyone must have a ticket to the Fieldside Luncheon)

Join avian experts from Wethersfield Estate & Garden’s partner the Waterman Bird Club for a Walk through Wethersfield learning about the importance of birding. Writes Scott Kirkwood, “Every day, bird lovers get to watch tiny wildlife documentaries unfold from their own windows – the search for food, the predator-prey relationship, even the ways that climate change shifts a species’ typical habitat.” Wethersfield invites you to step away from the window and into the woods to learn more about this fascinating interplay. Reservations are required. Space is limited.
