The annual Connecticut’s Historic Gardens Day is a state-wide celebration of all things floral. Participating member sites will have special events, tours, giveaways, and more to mark the beauty of the spring season at our historic properties.

At the Florence Griswold Museum, members of the Museum’s dedicated Garden Gang of volunteers will be on-site to answer questions and give impromptu garden tours on this special day.

Learn more about events happening all across the state here!

This year’s winner of the 9th annual Historic Gardens Day Poster Art Contest is artist Christopher Thelin of Farmington, CT. Local artists submit work each year inspired by the gardens in bloom at our historic sites across Connecticut.
