Wednesday, June 10th

The Club visited Shakespeare’s Garden Nursery in Brookfield, CT on June 10.  A tour of the greenhouses and grounds was provided as well as a visit to the nursery gift shop along the way.  Shakespeare’s Garden is a unique garden center and barn shop specializing in arrangements, annuals, perennials, landscape design, installation and property management.  Their display gardens offer inspiration and show an uncommon passion for creating and caring for the simplest to the most ornate garden setting.  The trip was a relaxing and inspirational experience.

Lunch followed immediately after at McGuires Ale House on Route 6 in Bethel.
