Blithewold Manor, Gardens & Arboretum

Hydrangeas are the most striking flowering shrubs, from the size and color of their inflorescences to their lengthy flowering times. However, there is much confusion regarding water and soil requirements, sun exposure, fertilization, and pruning of these colorful shrubs. We will walk through the gardens and visit many cultivars of common New England species: macrophylla (Big Leaf), arborescens (Smooth), paniculata (Paniculate), quercifolia (Oak Leaf), as well as some special, uncommon species. A handout will provide information on the proper care of the different species and a listing of the plants visited.

Pre-registration is required. Tour size is limited to 15.

Acrylic Painting with Kathy Thomas 
Multiple Sessions (see below) | 1-3:30pm 
Fees: $100 Members / $110 Non-Members
<a href="https://www.bristolartmuseum.org/store/p492/Acrylic_Painting_with_Kathy_Thomas_Session_III.html" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Session III</a> 
Mondays, August 3rd, 10th, 17th, and 24th, 2026
Kathy Thomas developed an interest in art at an early age, influenced by several family members who were artists. She graduated from Kent State University in 1974 with a degree in Art Education. 
 
Kathy's art has taken many twists and turns over the years. A landscape painter with an impressionist flare, she now leans towards a more abstract expressionist style. She starts every painting from a photo she has taken, using it only as a springboard and never knowing the result until the painting is complete. Starting with bold brush strokes, she then uses palette knives to create texture and color. 
 
Kathy taught at Holliston (MA) High School and served on the Holliston Cultural Arts Council and Executive Director of the Hopkinton Arts Council. In addition to her work in other media, she has studied watercolor and been a Master Flower Show judge and instructor.
