Bring you own lunch or purchase a choice of salads and sandwiches made from the Garden’s own bounty as well as stroll through the meadows, marshes and woodland to enjoy some well deserved tranquility. Each week after lunch a local writer, some coming from the Ridgefield Library’s creative writing group as well as the founder of The Garden of Ideas Joe Keller, will read from their work. 

On May 6, Priscilla Whitley, the facilitator of The Candlewood Writers Workshop, and a published memoir writer, will read a selection from a recent publication.
