Join us for a Whimsical Day at Innisfree Garden
An Exclusive RMA Speaker & Special Event Committees Planned Event!
Laura Palmer, the executive director of Innisfree Garden, will be the RMA speaker on Wednesday, October 9 from 11:00-12:00 noon. Please invite family and friends as all RMA speakers are open to the public.
Then, join us Sunday, October 13, for a wonderful drive up the scenic Hudson Valley to Innisfree Garden, in Millbrook NY. We will enjoy good conversation and the beautiful fall foliage colors, arriving at the charming Village of Millbrook for brunch before culminating with a stroll through Innisfree Garden.
The executive director of Innisfree Garden has arranged a privately guided walking tour of the nineteenth-century styled Chinese and Japanese gardens, designed based on ecological principles and set within a natural bowl wrapping around the 40-acre Tyrell Lake.
Innisfree Garden, formerly the estate of Walter and Marion Beck and designed along with Harvard-educated landscape architect Lester Collins, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (link).
