"I like adding the unexpected in my paintings . . . maybe a flying rabbit, fish, or house.” Kate Nordstrom, artist
Guests enjoyed sangria and hand-made Nori Rolls in the garden.
Carriage House Gardens hosts a mid-August garden party to celebrate the season, joyful moments, and Kate Nordstrom’s fanciful art. (see Kate’s paintings on the Gallery page)
In 2019, Peach sangria was the drink of the evening. (Violet Brandwein photos)
After taste testing many peach sangria recipes, CHG owners Lucia Droby and Rick Burns found the best of the bunch and guests agreed!
Abundant blooms were the background to a mellow evening of art, music, garden arches..
The gardens are having a final flush of bloom, the foliage still looks fresh, and the weather is mellow. A great time to invite friends, neighbors, and visitors to spend time in the garden.
Inside the carriage house, guests mingled and listened to David Lawlor on jazz guitar.
The invitation list is broad and the welcome is warm. The garden party was cancelled in 2021, but we look forward to 2022! Sign up for occasional messages from CHG including the garden party invitation.
