Wertheimer guided the museum in the restoration of the gardens and site to its appearance circa 1910. Miss Florence’s garden was referred to today as a “grandmother’s garden” in which masses of flowers were informally arranged in bordered beds close to home.

The museum is located on an 11-acre site 96 Lyme St., Old Lyme. $10, adults; $9, seniors; $8, students; children 12 and under, free. www.flogris. org; (860) 434-5542.
