June 4, 2020 by Boston Flora

Please join the Mary M.B. Wakefield Charitable Trust on September 12 at 5 pm for our 8th annual Dogwood Days Garden Party at The Wakefield Estate, 1465 Brush Hill Road in Milton. While they won’t be in bloom as they are in June (the originally planned time for the party), the dogwood trees will be beautiful in the late summer when their berries ripen and turn red.

Help us celebrate Dogwood Days with this wonderful celebration of the glorious dogwoods and grounds held at the Isaac Davenport Mansion.

Guests can tour the grounds, enjoy live music, and snack on good food and beverages, along with participating in a silent auction,

The Dogwood Days Garden Party is the Wakefield Estate’s annual fundraiser, celebrating the legacy of Polly Wakefield and her extraordinary gift to the community.

Tickets are $50 and must be purchased in advance. For tickets, call 617-333-0924 to receive an invitation in the mail.
