East meets West - 18th annual Newport Flower Show - Villa 120 Bed&Breakfast Newport RI
In many parts of the world the green jade is a symbol of love and virtue. In ancient China, it was believed to promote wisdom and ensure a long life. That symbol is at the heart of the 18th annual Newport Flower Show.
I went to the Flower Show yesterday and was amazed by the Asian Dragon, made of plant materials by the Preservation Society of Newport County for the recent Boston Flower Show. Dragon are found in mythology and folklore throuhout Asian cultures. In China, dragon lore dates back several thousand years. Typically, the dragon symbolizes imperial power and cntrl over anturl forces, particularly bodies of water, rinfall hurricanes and floods. The Chinese dragon also portends good luck; the huge pearl held in its claw is associated with good fortune, wealth and success.
Hitomi Gilliam, an internationally renowned floral artist, returns to Newport for the 18th annual Flower Show. She will showcase work inspired by Ikebana and Zen appreciation of nature.
Sunday Lectures:
Designing Gardens with a Passion for Peonies
11.30 a.m. - 12.30 p.m. Kathleen Gagan, Peony's Envy, Bernrdsville, N.J.
Gagan is a trained linguist and international corporate communications expert turned lady famer. After a successful life overseas, where she became fluent in Mandarin Chinese and Spanish, Gagan returned home to New Jersey to a life as a dedicated mom and entrepreneur. After several farming ventures she settled on peonies because of their resilience, deer resistance and beauty.
Jade Garden Plants
1.30 p.m. - 2.30 p.m. Greg Paige, arboretum curator, Bartlett Tree Research Laboratories and Arboretum and Chris Fletcher, arborist representative, F.A. Bartlett Tree Experts.
Favorite plants you should know about from Asia and ho to keep them healthy and happy.
Paige will lead a walking tour of Asia specimen trees on display in the urns and in the garden exhibits on the Rosecliff front lawn. Fletcher is one of the top experts on beech trees.
Asian Designs for the Home 1 - 2.30 p.m. Lynne Merrill and Robyn Spagnolo
This demonstration will show how containers are as important as their contents (plant material). Because of their inherent beauty, it is critical as to what plant material is chosen. Choices should be admired on their own as well as how they contribute to the total design. No matter what the syle of your home, an Asian design will not only be suitable but it wil be a loely addition to your decor.
Merrill is a Garden Club of America Approved Floral Design Judge, and a National Garden Club Master Judge in Horicuture and Design and current President of the Newport Garden Club.
Spagnolo is a Garden Club of America Design Judge, has won many GCA awards in design, photography and botanical arts, and presently is serving as chairwoman of photography for the Newport Flower Show.
Enjoy!

The Art of Illustration, American Illustration Museum, Judy Goffman Cutler, Newport Rhode Island, Historic Bed and Breakfast, Villa One Twenty
Well ahead of her time, Judy Goffman Cutler recognized the true value of of American Illustrations some 50 years ago. Goffman Cutler is the co-founder, along with her husband Laurence S. Cutler of the National Museum of American Illustration on Bellevue Avenue in Newport. Their collections here feature illustrations from great artists such as Norman Rockwell, N.C. Wyeth, Maxfield Parrish, and J.C. Leyendecker.
Recently, Goffman Cutler has been involved in a project assisting George Lucas found the Cultural Arts Museum in San Francisco. This new collection would prominently feature many similar artists of the same time period. She has also been invovled in a project with film great Steven Spielberg, building a collection of Rockwell's art. Lucas and Spielberg showcased their combined collections at the Smithsoniam American Art Museum in 2010.
Goffman Culter first became interested in art when she read a book her husband presented her with "Mainstreans of Modern Art" by John E. Canaday at the University of Pennsylvania. This book influenced her to minor in art history., and in the late 1960s she began collecting illustrators. Starting as a schoolteacher with not much to invest, her early foresight into Rockwell paintings has, in time, yielded a high return rate in the past few decades.
The Cutler's extensive collection on Bellevue Avenue is a Newport treasure not to be missed. The museum is open Thursday through Sunday from 11 am to 5 pm, with guided tours at 3pm on Friday afternoons. Admission to the museum is $18 for general admission, $12 for students, $16 for seniors or military, $15 for groups of 6 or more, and $8 for children aged 5 to 12. Children under 5 are not permitted. for more information on the museum visit their website:
