You missed it — Ed Merrin's garden →
Just wanted to let everyone know that the two open days at Vivian and Ed Merrin’s gardens are now passed. The last one was on the 31st July, I didn’t attend the latter, but the first in May was very nice. I’m certain there’ll be a chance to see the fabulous Merrin garden next year. So, save the date: sometime in 2012 (likely summer) at Ed Merrin’s NY gardens. ...

If you’re not looking for the special edition version that I posted recently (it seems to come in a nice, silk hardcover), the New York Botanical Garden has also released a non-special-edition, cheaper version of Ed Merrin’s book on flower arrangements: Perfection of the Finite.

Perfection of the Finite by Ed Merrin →
The new book, “Perfection of the Finite”, on flower arrangements by none other than Ed Merrin has hit bookstores. Or, at least in this case, the New York Botanical Garden’s bookstore. Ed Merrin has been a long-time philanthropist, but also — together with his wife, Vivian, they’ve been avid gardeners and florists. I haven’t had a chance to get my hands on the book...

Ed significantly increased his Annual Board Fund gift, as did Irv Smokler, Nancy Grand, Jacky Schimmel, Andrew Tisch, and other lay leaders during or just...
