The Southborough Gardeners are bringing back a popular past event — their fabulous “Art in Bloom” exhibit. Each participating gardener crafts a floral display “interpreting” a work of art.
The exhibits (with paired floral designs and their inspiration) are displayed at the Southborough Library for the public to enjoy.
This year’s exhibit will be inspired by artworks by 4th-8th grade artists from Neary Elementary and Trottier Middle school. (That can include paintings, sculptures, drawing, or other media.)
It has been seven years since the Gardeners partnered with student artists. (The last two times the Gardeners organized a exhibit in 2023 and 2021, the inspiring art was book covers, and the exhibits were billed “Books in Bloom”.)
The 2025 exhibit will open with a “Gala Reception” with refreshments on Thursday, April 10th from 5:30 – 7:30 pm.
The works will be displayed throughout the library’s main floor.
The exhibit will continue during the library’s open hours through Saturday, April 12th at 5:00 pm. (From my experience, some families start picking up the kids’ artwork on Saturday morning. So to enjoy the full exhibit, don’t wait until that afternoon.)
The Gardeners most recent partnership with Neary and Trottier was in 2018. You can check out some photo highlights below.
