Cosponsored by the Marion Garden Group, the Sippican Historical Society Speaker Series continues Friday, June 17 at 7:00 pm with an in-person presentation by garden historian and designer Marion Mako, entitled Women and Gardens at the Marion Music Hall, 164 Front Street.
Marion has coauthored two books about the counties of Cheshire and Somerset as part of the series, The Historic Gardens of England and has led a variety of garden tours in the UK and Europe. She is a volunteer and trustee for the Painswick Rococo Garden in Gloucestershire, and 2021 saw her debut on PBS America’s “A Short History of the English Garden.”
Marion will give a lavishly illustrated lecture on “Women and Gardens” about some of the great characters to have created gardens through history and their legacy today.
There is no charge for the Speaker Series presentations; however, we encourage donations of any amount that will offset the speakers’ fees and help to support the work of the Historical Society and the Marion Garden Group.
