Gardens to Love is again a proud supporter of the Cathedral Antiques Show. We have been sponsoring the show for the last 6 years. In past shows we have created a central garden in the foyer that correlates with each year’s theme. This year, however, due to the show’s overwhelming popularity and limited amount of space, we created a series of pots and urns complemented by fabulous red Richardson Allen bench. The pots, urns, and bench were placed around the edges of the foyer so that guests could mingle in the center.
Each year the Cathedral Antiques Show picks a wonderful charity to support. This year’s beneficiary is H.E.R.O. for Children, Inc. HERO is dedicated to improving the quality of life for children infected with and affected by HIV-AIDS. HERO’s logo incorporates a red ribbon and so red was the theme for this year’s Cathedral Antiques Show. In our Italian terracotta pots we had red cyclamen surrounding an evergreen juniper spiral, we had a red bench (borrowed from Logan Gardens) as our focal point, and we all had red ribbons on our name tags.
We enjoyed visiting with many of our friends and colleagues and Marcia even found a Valentine’s Day present for her husband!
