For the past seven years, Books & Blooms, a two-day garden event and benefit for The Cornwall Library in Cornwall, Connecticut, has been one of the most popular and enjoyable highlights on the calendar of Litchfield County garden lovers.

Perched along the banks of the Housatonic River in Kent is the stunning site of the Eric Sloane Museum. The eponymous Sloane (1905-1985), long-time Connecticut author, artist and Colonial expert, is perhaps best known for his landscape paintings, capturing the serene beauty of New England. The museum grounds include a full size model of an authentic 19th-century home, the Noah Blake Cabin, which is a reference from Diary of an Early American Boy, one of Sloane’s 38 books.
