On Tuesday, May 20, beginning at 6:00 pm (4:30 for those departing by special bus from Manhattan), the Poetry Society of America welcomes the season with its annual Spring Benefit Dinner. This year you can head up to the New York Botanical Garden for a private tour of the Garden's major spring/summer exhibition Groundbreakers: Great American Gardens and The Women Who Designed Them. With a stunning evocation of the Abby Aldrich Rockefeller Garden in Maine, and exhibits highlighting the rich and artful history of some of the gardening world's most significant innovators, the Garden celebrates the women who pioneered landscape and garden design, writing, and photography during the early 20th century.
