    • Project SAGE responded to more hotline calls and crisis requests than ever before – nearly 1,500 calls were answered last year.
    • Project SAGE has significantly expanded options to shelter families in crisis and assist with interim and long-term housing – including the shelter of beloved family pets.

  • Saturday, May 16, 10:00 am – 3:00 pm, and Sunday, May 17, 10:00 am – 4:00 pm – Trade Secrets

    Welcome to Trade Secrets – the two-day garden event that includes a rare plant and garden antique sale on Saturday, May 16, and a four-garden tour on Sunday, May 17. We are excited this year to be celebrating the 15th Anniversary of Trade Secrets, dubbed by many to be the northeast region’s garden event of the year!

    Founded by Bunny Williams, Trade Secrets is the signature fundraiser for Women’s Support Services (WSS) of the Northwest Corner of Connecticut. The WSS mission is to create a community free of domestic violence and abuse through intervention, prevention and education by offering free, confidential, client-centered services focused on safety, support advocacy and community outreach.

    This year many beloved vendors are returning (along with a few new additions we know you will love!) for Saturday’s rare plant and garden antique sale at LionRock Farm in Sharon, CT (pictured below.) We have four lovely Connecticut gardens on the Sunday garden tour – including the Trade Secrets’ signature garden of Bunny Williams and John Rosselli – always a treat.  Tickets are available online at http://www.tradesecretsct.com/tickets.
