Greenfield Garden Cinemas - Five Seasons: The Gardens of Piet Oudolf

The Greenfield Garden Club, in conjunction with the Greenfield Garden Cinema, is pleased to announce a one-time showing of this immersive and meditative documentary that reveals how the revolutionary Dutch landscape designer, Piet Oudolf, upends our conventional notions of nature, public space, and, ultimately, beauty itself. Piet is responsible for such gardens in the US as Lurie Garden in Chicago and High Line in NYC. Be sure to mark your calendars for this special event.

​There will be time for a discussion after the film for those who are interested, and there will be a table with membership information and club members ready to answer any questions you may have about the club.

Tickets are now on sale and are only $5 per person. Reserve your seat early! 

It's time to renew your membership for 2023! Information is at the bottom of this page.

It’s time to start looking at the calendar and planning a road trip or maybe a class this coming year. The Philadelphia Flower Show (March 4-12) has returned indoors after 2 years outside. ‘The Garden Electric!’ is the 2023 theme. (Tix are $43.50) Philadelphia is a great place to visit, and you can get there easily by train.

The Capital Region Flower & Garden Expo takes place March 24-26 in Troy, NY. Advance tickets are $11/day. This is a perfect opportunity to spend the night in Troy and then visit the shops down-town before departing. Their Saturday Farmers Market has high marks.
