New Gardening Video: The History of Wentworth Castle Gardens

by

In this video, discover the history of Wentworth Castle Gardens and how the National Trust cares for this special place in partnership with Barnsley Council and Northern College. Wentworth Castle Gardens in South Yorkshire is best known for its collection of rhododendron blooms whose flowers brighten up borders and pathways each spring. This landscape garden is home to the National Plant Collection of Rhododendron Species. Rhododendrons were introduced here in the 1870s when the estate was owned by Thomas Wentworth. Subsequent owners and gardeners have since added new varieties of these hardy plants, which thrive in the area’s acidic soil.  Watch this five minute video with Rachel Parkin on YouTube by clicking HERE.

Saturday, July 9, 2:00 pm – 7:00 pm – MassQ Ball 2022 : Origin

by

The MassQ Ball 2022 will feature the diverse artistic expressions of and for Boston’s communities of color. A space for connection and healing, this intergenerational, cross-cultural exhibition of the arts asks the question “If we, together, could author our own creation story, what would we create?

Imagine an art event where instead of looking at objects on walls we look at each other; where instead of going to see art, we become it; where people convene and converge with nature, arts, and each other to celebrate what makes us both unique and unified. This is the inspiration behind MassQ Ball 2022: Origin. 

The event takes place in the Conifer Forest of the Arnold Arboretum, 125 Arborway, on July 9 from 2 – 7. For more information visit https://www.massqball.com/the-ball or email massqball@admin
