The Friends of Earthly Delights - an all-volunteer group of local designers, architects, horticulturists, garden writers, and gardeners have formed an alliance with the Land Conservancy of New Jersey to help benefit New Jersey public parks and gardens. On Saturday, May 21, 2011, the organization will hold a one-day event inviting visitors from all over the tri-state area to shop from distinguished vendors for rare plants, distinctive garden antiques, as well as attend lectures and demonstrations from nationally known speakers. The event will be held at the home and garden of Andrea Filippone.
The focus is on education and horticulture and the many ways to increase awareness of gardening and public gardens in New Jersey. The goal is to create the most spectacular horticultural event in New Jersey to help promote and sustain NJ's premier public gardens.
Proceeds from the first annual event will benefit the Somerset County Park Foundation with funds designated to improvements at Leonard J. Buck Garden. Earthly Delights will be held at the home and garden of Andrea Filippone, 129 Pickle Road, Pottersville, NJ and will be held rain or shine.
