Be inspired to enhance your home or garden as you browse garden ornaments from the United States, France, England, Belgium, Sweden, and Italy. Massive terra-cotta oil jars—one ancient Roman, one mid-19th century—a garden by the sea, and French-themed booths are among this year's highlights.

Enjoy afternoon tea and wine tastings with antiques experts and designers who can highlight the right piece for you. Throughout the weekend, participate in tours of the show, floral-arranging demonstrations entitled Classy Container Designs, a booksigning with Stacy Bass of her new book In the Garden, and more.

Admission to the Antique Garden Furniture Show and Sale, Garden attractions, and special exhibitions is included with the All-Garden Pass. $20 adults, $18 students and seniors, $8 children, free for Members.

“Why have I specialized in garden antiques? We enjoy our gardens which add tranquility to our lives and I want to share with other the pleasure and excitement of designing and incorporating beautiful design elements in their gardens. Adding a beautiful piece of sculpture or an beautifully designed old bench add so much interest and expand gardens into outdoor rooms.”
—Aileen Minor

“In the twenty years since this show began we have seen a shift in the tastes of our customers who are serious garden collectors and with the general public just looking for an accent piece or two for their garden. The most significant change, in our opinion is the lessening of interest in cast iron that has been cleaned and newly painted. We see a shift in interest especially by collectors in pieces that have pleasing oxidized and as found surfaces. On the other hand, faux bois pieces and real stone pieces have continued to be sought after and have only had interest in them grow.”
—Barry Dobinsky, Schorr & Dobinsky
