Gardens Of Fable

By Betsy Abraham Posted on June 11, 2014

Gardens and fairy tales go well together, but how did this relationship develop?
This weekend, visit the Cottage Garden drop-in information station at Old Westbury Gardens, now graced with bright mid-spring blooms, to discover how plant life plays a prominent role in many classic fairytales, such as Hansel & Gretel or The Princess and the Pea.
Pull up a toadstool and sow your own fabled flora to take home and make your backyard the fairest in the land.

Saturday, June 14, from noon-1 p.m. All ages. No registration required, but supplies are limited. Free with admission to the Gardens: $10 General; $5 ages 7-17. Ages 6 and under are free.
