Looking for something to do Wednesday afternoon? If you're going to find yourself in the Shelter Island area, check out the Garden Club's standard flower show and house tour from 2:00-5:30 p.m. at the Historical Society's Havens House and Barn (Route 114).
The show, "Art in Bloom," is based on the relationship of art to nature and features work by local artists Janet Culbertson, Olive Reich, Mike Zisser, Roz Dimon, Nelson White, Kirsten Lewis, Nidia D'Alessandro and Bob Markell. Categories include horticulture design -- novice, artistic craft -- adult, and artistic craft -- youth.
There are three houses on the tour, as well, each sporting floral arrangements created by Garden Club members and tied to a famous artist's work.
