Opening Day Talk: Growing a Cutting Garden with the Purple Tuteur Farm

Thursday
May 11, 2023
11:00 am-12:00 pm

Ever dreamed of having a cutting garden at home? On opening day of Art Blossoms, Linda Bradley, founder and owner of the Purple Tuteur Farm, talks the basics of getting started and what will grow in hot and humid South Carolina. Located in Blythewood, the Purple Tuteur Farm grows specialty cut flowers for the local market and offers them on a wholesale and retail basis; its mission is to bring joy through flowers. Free with Art Blossoms admission: $15 / $5 for members.  

Art Blossoms is a unique exhibition that also serves as a fundraiser for the Columbia Museum of Art. Every ticket you purchase for the exhibition and its related events supports the CMA's award-winning arts education and programming and helps to ensure a thriving creative community in the Midlands.
