ADDS CULINARY FLAVOR, EVENING AMBIANCE
WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. (March 5, 2008) — Residents of one of West Palm Beach’s most treasured historic districts have announced a new theme for this year’s Flamingo Park Historic Homes Garden Tour: “Food, Wine & Evening Ambiance as the Sun Sets on West Palm Beach.”
The tour, which drew more than 600 guests last year, will be held from 3-7 p.m. on Saturday, April 5. The event will feature hors d’oeuvres and wine in each garden, courtesy of local restaurant sponsors such as Café Boulud, The Ritz-Carlton Palm Beach, Café 1451 at the Norton Museum of Art (catered by Lyon + Lyon), Souvlaki Grill, Chix on the Block, Café Del Mar and Leila Restaurant. Other sponsors include Island Exposure Fine Art Photography, Fusedog Media Group and Legacy Fine Art.
“Flamingo Park home and garden tours draw hundreds of local people, as well as visitors from Miami and Sarasota,” said committee member Rosemary Denney, whose 1925 Mediterranean home recently was featured on the 2007 Flamingo Park Holiday Home Tour. “Rather than the traditional Sunday afternoon, the new time and day will help accommodate our traveling guests, and also provide a new perspective on gardening. Those who want to see our ornamental plantings in full sun can come early in the afternoon, while those who’d like to enjoy gourmet food and wine in the gardens will also have a blast as the sun goes down!”
Offering a myriad of historic architecture dating to the 1920s, Flamingo Park is home to several noted landscape architects and designers — and lots of green thumbs. One of the tour’s 10 exquisite properties is that of Morningstar Nursery horticulturist Joel Crippen and family.
“Our home makes us feel like we are somewhere far from the center of a city or even in Florida,” says Crippen, who’s three-parcel property is rife with exotic flora and fauna. ”You could pick up our entire property and move it to any tropical place in the world and it would fit in — and we would be at home.”
Tickets to the Flamingo Park Historic Homes Garden Tour are $17 in advance (www.historichometours.com), $22 at the gate. Ticketing and check in will be located in Howard Park, near the Armory Art Center on Parker Avenue, 1⁄4 mile south of Okeechobee Boulevard in West Palm Beach.
The Flamingo Park Neighborhood Association is a non-profit organization serving the residents of Flamingo Park. Proceeds from the event will contribute to neighborhood improvement projects and the publication of informational documents. The event is rain or shine.
