In spring’s embrace, the gardens bloom, a vibrant scene dispels all gloom. Beneath the sky, so clear and bright, join us for a magical night.
In cocktail attire, you’ll be dressed, with elegance that’s at its best. But let your spirit take its flight, with decorated hats, a dazzling sight.
Floral crowns and ribbons sway, as laughter dances through the day. A buffet spread of seasonal cheer, delights await, so bring your cheer.
Under the stars, we’ll twirl and glide, in rhythm with the evening’s tide. So join us, friends, for joy and grace, in this garden of dreams, our happy place.
About the Ridgefield Historical Society The Ridgefield Historical Society maintains state of the art archives in a vault beneath its 1714 saltbox headquarters and works to preserve and promote the rich history of Ridgefield through community outreach and programs designed to increase awareness of historic preservation. It maintains a small museum of early education in the one-room Peter Parley/West Lane District Schoolhouse and has recently leased the Branchville District Schoolhouse, another one-room school, with plans to restore it and create an exhibit and meeting space.
About the Ridgefield Garden Club The Ridgefield Garden Club describes itself as “A local garden club with a love of plants and gardening, a concern for our natural resources, and a continued desire to beautify our town.” Its members have been active in both their individual gardening projects and their town beautification efforts for more than a century. They maintain the gardens created by Elizabeth Ballard in what is now Ballard Park as well as the greenhouse that was part of the Ballard Estate.
