Flowers and Gifts News

A perennial favorite, MFA's 'Art in Bloom' is a fusion of flowers and art

I was really happy to get it,” said Jane Bogarty of Marshfield, an interior designer who worked with fellow Norwell Garden Club member Susan Solis. “The style for Victorian flowers was full and lush and overflowing and I knew right away I would do something like that.” In a sage green container, she arranged peonies, roses, sea holly, ferns and ivy that complement the painting’s red rocking chair and tree flowers and blue dresses and water. “I wanted to create something that looked like it could have been part of the scene,” she said. Bogarty, who came to Art in Bloom for years before participating as an arranger, is looking forward to taking the tours. “I always learn something, and the arrangements make me look at the works more closely,” she said. Other Art in Bloom works include Degas’ sculpture “Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer,” an Egyptian bead net dress from 2500 B.C., a Bodhisattva of Compassion from 12th century China, and a crayon drawing of female socialites in the 1960s by fashion illustrator Kenneth Paul Block. A highlight is the “Director’s Choice” arrangement by the Weston Garden Club, in recognition of the museum’s new director, Matthew Teitelbaum. It’s inspired by the carved mantelpiece in the recently restored Hamilton Palace Dining Room. Additionally, the museum’s courtyard, entryways and other open spaces will showcase about 20 arrangements from professional designers. IF YOU GO WHAT: Art in Bloom WHEN: April 30-May 2; tours run 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and free lectures are 3 to 4 p.m. Saturday and Sunday and 11 a.m. - noon Monday.

A GOOD AGE: All star seniors and responsive readers

I weed the vegetable garden when it is cool.” How’s that for escaping the New England winter? READERS RESPOND: Last week’s column on Norwell historian Sam Olson brought this email from Marcia Merritt English: “I have always been fascinated by local histories and have unfortunately heard a lot of incorrect facts of things I knew about because I lived through them. I was born and brought up in Norwell, graduated from Norwell High School in 1956. I hope Mr. Olson also consulted the “History of Norwell” by my grandfather, Joe Merritt. My mother had a lot of fun when she rode around with him in the 1930's as he compiled his notes. I keep in touch with classmates (we had a class of 29) and we are having our 60th reunion in May.” Olson says he did indeed read Merritt's local history and remembers him well as the town's influential long-time town clerk. And Ann Thomas of Marshfield emailed: “My (late) husband Wayne and I graduated from Bridgewater with Sam in 1954. A handsome young man, and I can see a bit of the boy I remember in Sam’s picture. Our class had about 120 so we all knew each other. We were fortunate to have that closeness which the much larger classes today do not have.” Wayne Thomas was principal of the Eames Way School in Marshfield for 25 years. And Connie MacDonald of Weymouth emailed: “Thank you for your mention of my dear husband, Bill MacDonald, in your recent ‘look back’ column. I am sorry to have to inform you that Bill passed away last August from the side effects of Alzheimer’s. We all miss him very much.” MacDonald, who was 90, founded the Adams Heights Mens Club in 1967. Sue Scheible may be reached at scheible@ledger.com or follow on Twitter@SueS_Ledger.
