June is a glorious time in Highlands and Cashiers.

Fabulous flowers are festooning our front yards.  Beautiful buds are begging for the attention of bees.  Glorious glads are standing guard in our gardens.  

Joining you in celebrating a community filled with still life potential at every turn is The Bascom.  After all, flowers are God’s way of painting the earth.  And The Bascom’s all about painting.

This year’s Garden Tour is on Bowery Road where the soil is dusted with a special enchantment that produces landscapes drenched in color, texture, and design.  Every twist in the road guarantees an “ooh” and “aah.”

The theme for 2016’s benefactor party is The Hamptons, that part of Long Island which is best known for its jaw-droppingly beautiful botanical gardens and arboretums.  It’s as though The Bascom scooped up a roomful of New York’s magical air and basketsful of floral ecstasy for your evening’s pleasure.

And there is plenty more.  As always there will be a variety of additional events to complement the tour.  More information will be forthcoming.  Call The Bascom for more details as the dates, July 15 and 16, approach at (828) 526-4949.
