BROOKLINE, MA — Goddard House Assisted Living will be hosting an Outdoor Floral Art Display for Charity from July 16-18 to raise money for the Parkinson's Foundation.

The three-day event will take place from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at 165 Chestnut St. and feature creative, outdoor flower arrangements and planters in recycled containers. Several contributions include an old-fashioned typewriter with succulents growing out of it from the Town of Brookline and a one-of-a-kind lobster pot arrangement.

The art display is in silent auction format and visitors can enter a bid on the planter of their choice. Each item includes a card about the person or organization who made it and a starting bid amount.
