Here's the line up of musicians that we heard last weekend at the Arboretum. I think the music was my favorite part of our time there. It ran the gamut of bluegrass, country, old standards, gospel, and Cajun. Robin and her band kicked off the schedule and played over an hour. That's Robin in the big hat; to her left is Kentucky, her new husband! They were married at the Arb on Easter Sunday. Even though it poured rain that day, Robin was determined to have an 'outdoor' wedding and literally brought the outside into her house. As she toured us through her adorable cottage, she apologized for it looking like a 'Harry Potter' house...there were flowers and vines and branches from shrubs and trees everywhere festooning the stairway, tangling from a tiny chandelier and in every kind of vase. The other singer is Jennifer Petterson. She lives at the Arb and helps Robin with gardening and event planning. Both women have CD's which I purchased to keep the musical memory of my weekend alive.
Robin's CD, Songs from the Garden, can be purchased on her website and proceeds go to help restore the Arb.
Robin, her Soil Sisters, and Angels keep Barlett Arboretum alive and lively, full of warm, welcoming fun, and melodies from the gardens.
