EQUINUNK, PA — The Equinunk Historical Society will hold a three-day exhibit titled “History in Bloom” from Friday, July 24 through Sunday, July 26. The exhibit showcases the creative efforts of eight area florists and nursery owners who have accepted the challenge of interpreting some of the most interesting vignettes in the Calder Museum. The floral artists could choose from several intriguing possibilities, including the Native American dugout canoe exhibit, the concert grand piano in the parlor, the graceful spinning wheel, or the sweep of the great wheel of the antique bicycle, among dozens of other ideas. Visitors can enjoy a self-guided tour of the exhibit on any of the three days: Friday from 2 to 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon to 4 p.m. Admission is free.

Floral interpreters include Bold’s Garden Center & Florist, Honesdale; Castek’s Floral Shop, Honesdale; Peter Grunn, Chapel Mountain Nursery, Equinunk; Christina Emmett, Damascus; Honesdale Greenhouse Flower Shop; Jamieson Greenhouses, Honesdale; Alison Peck, Honesdale; Hana Marritz, Equinunk; and Tannis Kowalchuk, Willow Wisp Organic Farm, Damascus.

Through the generosity of Honesdale Greenhouse Flower Shop, a silk arrangement will be awarded to the highest bidder in a silent auction. You must be present to enter a bid. The arrangement features a natural, woven handled basket with white snapdragons and yellow and white daisies. It is 24 inches high and 22 to 24 inches in width. The value of this summer arrangement is $95.
