Event Description

LOCATION: Anstace and Larry Esmonde-White’s Country Garden, Kemptville

YOU MUST RSVP by July 18th Wendy and Vince Kennedy at wenwayken@cogeco.ca

You are invited to the First Annual Leeds-Grenville Federal Green Party Electoral District Association Summer Event, between 2 and 5 pm on Sunday 20th of July. This year it will be held at Anstace and Larry Esmonde-White's Country Garden, Kemptville as an elegant Summer Wine Luncheon.

This award-winning Garden was the site of the long-running, much-loved PBS gardening show "Anstace and Larry," and has been a featured stop on many garden tours in the Ottawa and upper New York area. Of particular interest are the water garden, the elaborately sculpted hedges, the different vistas, and a breath-taking traditional English hedge maze, modelled on a famous 18th century original. We are grateful for the generosity of Anstace and Robin Esmonde-White in offering this one-of- a-kind opportunity for local Green Party members and supporters and hope you will manage to attend! You will also be able to meet our federal candidate Jeanie Warnock.
