Two events are expected to draw lots of visitors to Plainfield on June 5.
One is the Van Wyck Brooks Historic District 2016 Spring House Tour, with the theme, "Brides of the Decades: Love Wins!" See details on the Van Wyck Brooks Historic District website.
The other is the annual Shakespeare-in-Bloom event at the Shakespeare Garden in Cedar Brook Park. The garden was designed in 1927 by the renowned Olmsted Brothers Landscape Architecture firm and has been tended for 89 years by members of the Plainfield Garden Club. See details at the Plainfield Garden Club website.
These events provide a wonderful opportunity to introduce new neighbors, visiting relatives or out-of-town friends to two highlights of the Queen City. Plainfield's eclectic Victorian architecture is known among preservationists far and wide, and house tours sponsored by historic districts afford a close look at these marvelous homes. The Shakespeare Garden is Plainfield's link to gardens around the globe that feature flowers and plants mentioned in works of the Bard. In addition to the Shakespeare Garden being on the National Register of Historic Places, the Plainfield Garden Club has been recognized by the State of New Jersey and placed on the New Jersey Women's Heritage Trail. The Heritage Trail brings to life the vital role of women in New Jersey's past and present.
Make plans now to attend one or both of these special events!

I absolutely love flowers and often take strolls through the Shakespeare Garden, it’s really a nice place to visit while hanging out in the Park.
