Tudor Place Spring Garden Party May 22

May 20, 2013

Many will be wearing lavish hats and finery appropriate for an event that is a staple of the spring social season in Washington.

The celebration benefits Tudor Place. This year’s gala, co-chaired by Page Evans and Colman Rackley Riddell, honors attorney Phillips S. Peter, a descendant of the Peter family.

The mansion and its gardens were created in the early 1800s and six generations of descendants continued to occupy and care for it until 1983. Thanks to Peter family foresight, today it is a historic house and garden museum operated for public education and benefit by the Tudor Place Foundation, which hosts the Garden Party.

Washington social and political elites have been drawn to salons, teas, “crushes” and other gatherings at Tudor Place since the mansion’s completion in 1816.

It has been wonderful, fabulous, scintillating, inspiring, thought-provoking, and, most of all, fun to have had Rose's art fill Bobbie Medlin these last few years.

Alas, the time has come for her return to her home in Corsica.   

Please come and bid her a bon voyage.  On this day, new paintings will be making their debut to complement the current work already on exhibition.

This is going to be a very special day!
