Please join us March 15 through March 17, 2010 for Garden Week at The Cummer, Where Culture Blooms.

Monday speaker — Renny Reynolds, an author, visionary garden designer, lecturer and the founder of Hortulus Farm Nursery, will speak on "Listening to The Land."

Tuesday speaker — Author Jack Staub will give a presentation on "Sowing Goodness." This lecture pays tribute to the virtues of growing what you eat, not only for the good of body and soul, but for the good of the planet and our local farm economies as well.

We will celebrate the fruits of the Earth by hosting a Wine Tasting Tuesday evening.

On Wednesday we will host a fabulous luncheon and fashion show highlighting the latest spring styles from two of our local fashion boutiques — Sharon Batten and Model Citizen.

In addition to our wonderful speakers, luncheons and fashion show, we will have baked goods available from Mrs. Cummer's Tea Table, fresh herbs for sale, lovely garden items from our Cummer Store and unique jewelry designs from Jacksonville's own Lillian Ostergard.

For more information please contact Kim Pomar at (904) 899-6038.
