Join us on Monday, June 8 from 7 p.m. - 8 p.m. for a public reception for the exhibit, “In the Garden: Photographs from Sissinghurst and Great Dixter” by Gail Giarrusso, which will be on view from Monday, June 1 - Friday, July 31, 2026.

These large color photographs are from visits to Great Dixter and Sissinghurst gardens in East Sussex, England, in late Spring 2023 and Fall 2025. The images were made using vintage medium-format film cameras. Shot on rich Portra film with a shallow depth-of-field and the absence of sky, they give the viewer the feeling of being in among the lush flora.
