Plein Air Art and Garden Sale and Allis Garden Restoration
Lest we forget, the Charles Allis is also experiencing the early stages of Spring fever too, and the gardens there are also spectacular in the Spring and Summer months. To get everyone excited about Spring, planting gardens, and being eco-friendly, the Charles Allis Art Museum will be hosting a Plein Air Art and Garden Sale on Saturday, May 14. I must admit I am very excited about this event! Our lovely Ann has put together a press release announcing this event, so without further ado, take it away Ann!
