This summer, the Saratoga County History Center is delighted to present the return of the popular series, “Fridays in the Garden”. The programs are to be held in the beautiful gardens of Brookside Museum, 21 Fairground Ave, Ballston Spa. All programs are free to attend, though donations are welcome and appreciated. Registration for each program is preferred, but not required.
The programs will be led by Kathleen Royka, with guest speakers, Jere Blackwelder and Mina Dunnum. At each talk, questions and discussions are encouraged on any gardening issue. Children are welcome, and there will be toys and games of the 18th century to discover. Guests will also have the opportunity to visit our exciting new exhibit, “Saratoga County: Our Home!”
Isobel Connell, Vice President of the History Center, commented, “The beautiful gardens at Brookside Museum are a constantly changing exhibit. “Fridays in the Garden” was extremely popular last year and we are very grateful to Kathleen Royka and her team for their continuing hard work and their willingness to share their knowledge”.
