Phelps-Hatheway School of Floral Arts | Dahlias with Julie Harrison of Willow View Farm

Suffield is often described as a “town of farms.” More specifically, we like to say that it is home to a “town of flower farms.” The Phelps-Hatheway School of Floral Arts was created to showcase the magnificent blooms grown in our small community and, for the final session, in our great state of Connecticut. All ages and abilities are welcome! Embrace history and horticulture during a special summer morning escape. The day begins at Suffield’s Willow View Farm where owner Julie Harrison grows flowers adjacent to the town’s oldest house. After a brief farm tour, guests may pick a large cup full of flowers. After, retire to Phelps-Hatheway House’s late 18th-century carriage house, where we will take in the garden while enjoying beverages and pastries. A special tour of the museum’s interiors will trace the importance of gardens and floral design from the 18th-21st centuries. Register Now Refreshments will be served and a tour of Phelps-Hatheway House’s historic interiors will be available. Tickets are $55 for CTL Members and $65 for the general public.
