Focusing on the Positive

In New England towns the seasons are usually clearly defined, almost delineated, even when one seems to flow easily into another. This year has been an anomaly; summer seemed to go on forever.

Suffield Garden Club Celebrates the Legacy of Frederick Law Olmsted
|
The Suffield Garden Club will present “Then & Now: The Importance and Relevance of Frederic Law Olmsted” by Leslie Martino at 6:30 p.m. on November 7 at the Kent Memorial Library. Martino, a landscape designer and historian, will help us celebrate the bicentennial of the birth of Frederick Law Olmsted, considered the father of American landscape architecture. Olmsted’s designs provided an opportunity for people to interact with nature as well as other people. He understood the impact a designed green space had on people’s social, mental and physical health when he began designing public parks. The Garden Club is especially pleased to present this program as they work with landscape architects to create a plan for the Suffield Tree Committee to use as it works to rebuild the tree canopy of the Town Greens and along Suffield’s designated scenic highway.
