Learn about antique flower pots at Blithewold

Bring your favorite old flowerpots to Blithewold Mansion, Gardens and Arboretum on Saturday, April 26, at 11 a.m. for an Antique Flowerpots "Roadshow" and lecture.

Garden historian, Susan Tamulevich, will present an illustrated lecture in the mansion's living room, complete with examples from her own collection of antique pots, on the evolution of the common flowerpot, tracing its development from ancient Egypt to today's green roofs. The talk will be followed by an Antique Roadshow-style show and tell, where the audience is encouraged to bring their pots for her to identify. After the lecture, enjoy the thousands of daffodils blooming on the grounds as well as associated Daffodil Days festivities such as tea and exhibits.

The lecture costs $20 for members; $25 for non-members and preregistration is required. For more information, visit www.blithewold. org or call 401-253-2707, ext. 21.
