Helping Our Garden Grow

We at the Sag Harbor Historical Society, honored Earth Day and National Garden Month in a special way by inviting families to help us plant an herb garden and bring Annie's spirit to life ... and we had a wonderful time!

Bonnie Grice, dressed in period costume, welcomed the gardeners behind the ACB HOuse where Annie's own kitchen garden would have been. Folks chose thier herbs, Parsley, Sage or Rosemary, and BOnnie was there to assist and offer planting tips and a bit of herb history. Each herb was tagged not only with its name but the gardener's name as well. WE thank the Peconic Land Trust and the Sag Harbor Garden Center for sponsoring this event and providing the herbs.

Between 11:00 and 1:00, Nancy Remkus played music and sang songs on the stairs of the house, facing an audience safely spaced in chairs with no sense of crowding ... on our new front lawn! 

Hopefully every gardiner will return to see how "their garden grows". CLICK HERE TO LINK WITH A SHORT SLIDESHOW that is indicative of how the entire day progressed. Gardiners young and old participated and the individuals shown are only representative of those who helped us celebrate this glorious day in Sag Harbor. Thank you one and all!
