The Bridge of Flowers is a miracle of bloom right now. High summer. The dahlias are just beginning to join the phlox, daylilies, cimicifuga, crocosmia and all manner of daisies. But there is another way to enjoy the Bridge of Flowers.
Follow the Shoes for the monthly Art Walk in Shelburne Falls. The various artisans and galleries like Molly Cantor Pottery and the Salmon Falls Artisans Gallery were displaying the talents and skills of many of our area artists. As a member of the Bridge of Flowers Committee I was especially interested in the exhibit at The Art Garden.
One of the beautiful renditions of the Bridge of Flowers was this whimsical quilt square.
Maureen Moore, artist, writer, and BOF committee member was inspired by the roses on the Bridge to paint this rose view. The exhibit will continue at The Art Garden in Shelburne Falls for the next month. Stop by. And visit the Bridge, too. Don’t forget to sign the guest book.
The Art Walk will next be held on September 13, but the galleries are open even when there is no Art Walk. Be sure and visit. And don’t forget – The Bridge of Flowers is open all day, every day until October 30. No fee. But you can always leave a donation.
How pretty–both the Bridge of Flowers and the items at the Art Walk. I think I’ll click on your other links to learn more about the Bridge of Flowers!
Everything is just beautiful. Wish I could see both.
Beth – The Bridge of Flowers is an amazing public garden.http://www.bridgeofflowersmass.org/ is the website which includes a short history. In 1929 when the trolley line was discontinued the women of the town took it on as a project. And our area is rich in artists of every kind.
Lisa – I wish you could visit, too.
