After losing the job that defined her and the garden that inspired her, Browning started to cultivate a new garden, beginning a journey of self-discovery and reinvention. Join Browning, author of Slow Love: How I Lost My Job, Put on My Pajamas, and Found Happiness, as she shares how the spirit of a new garden helped her to love the unexpected, unanticipated life.  The book will be available for purchase for $23 by pre-order only, with proceeds benefiting The Blossom Fund.  Lecture and Luncheon: $45, Lecture only: $20.  To register, make checks payable to The Boston Committee of the GCA and mail to Mrs. William U.
