The Home and Garden and Art Departments of the Women’s Club of Glen Ridge are joining together to bring you a special treat this Spring at the April 3rd meeting of the Club.  Come for a delicious luncheon at noon prepared for us by Rose Mediterranean of Caldwell and an informative presentation by Claudia Kollster and Linda Sercus, curators of The Essex County Presby Memorial Iris Gardens, which will follow at 1:00 pm.
They will treat us to an introduction to this living museum, listed on the State and National Register of Historic Sites.

  “The Presby Iris Gardens—a  Local Legend since 1927”, will not only tell us the history of these gardens but will offer cultivation tips on growing iris.   Perhaps you have enjoyed visiting this treasure at 474 Upper Mountain Avenue in Upper Montclair; if not, you will want to experience the pleasure this Spring when the Gardens celebrate their 85th blooming season.  They were established in honor of Frank H. Presby of Montclair, a leading horticulturalist and founder of the American Iris Society.

Last Spring our membership and artistic friends were informed of this upcoming program and asked to visit the Gardens and, if inspired, to create an artistic rendering of their visit. On April 3rd we will see just how inspired they were.  The Art Department will be exhibiting their talents with a show opening at 11:30 am prior to the noon luncheon with program and later that night at a reception from 7:00 to 9:00 pm with light refreshments. 

The beauty of the flowers and the treat of the culinary talents of this special restaurant await your pleasure.  The deadline for luncheon reservations is March 26th.  The Price is $18.00 for members and $23.00 for non-members.  The day program-only charge for non-members is $5.00 and will include coffee and dessert.  The evening reception charge for non-members is $5.00. 


 Don’t miss this wonderful introduction to Spring.
