Putnam Greenhouse at Elizabeth Park, Hartford.I was over at Elizabeth Park in Hartford this weekend, to drop off some plants and fliers for an educational display of cactus and succulent plants put together by the Connecticut Cactus and Succulent Society. I met Lisa Silvestri of the Friends of Elizabeth Park there, and we got the plants to a favorable place in the public greenhouse, then talked for a while about plants and the park. The F.o.E.P. even provided lunch at the Pond House, which was a treat.
The display is mostly basic stuff, but maybe it will get people interested in succulent plants or attract some new members to the CCSS. Stop in and check it out: the display will be there until March or so. Next year, I'd like to get the cactus club to Elizabeth Park for one of our official meetings, so it was nice to make some contacts with the Friends.

Wow, nice greenhouse - I'm jealous. It looks like a great location for a show. Hope you get a lot of interested cactophiles!
Looks like a good place for CCSS meeting! I love the shape of this greenhouse on the brick base! Very pretty!
The greenhouse is a nice one, apparently moved to the park pretty recently from a private home nearby.
Nice job Matt! I'll have to get over there to check it out - haven't been to Elizabeth Park in probably 20 or 25 years...
