"Rhode Island's Women Gardeners and the English Idyll" is the spring program in the Historic Knight Estate Education Series at CCRI in Warwick, Sunday, May 20, 2007, at 1:00pm. The event is free and open to the public.
Lynn M. Halmi, Preservation Coordinator, Knight Estate Restoration, sent a "save the date" notice of this meeting and added the following details:
The Knight Estate is a "gentleman's farm" from the 1800's which we are in the process of trying to restore. This estate sits out of sight of the campus building itself, but we conduct free walking tours in the spring and fall. In addition, we hold spring and fall speaking programs relating to the history of the estate. On Sunday, May 20 at 1:00, we are honored to have Karen Jessup coming to speak on "Rhode Island's Women Gardeners and the English Idyll".
Karen is well known in her field as an academic landscape historian both here and in Great Britain. She is also on the board of the Providence Preservation Society. She is currently Chair, Board of Advisors National Trust for Historic Preservation.
