Friends of Wethersfield Garden Luncheon

The Friends of Wethersfield Garden Luncheon will take place on Saturday, September 5, 2026. Please save the date.

On this occasion, we will honor Zibby Tozer for her remarkable and enduring commitment to Wethersfield.

As Founding Friends, her connection to the estate stretches back to the days of Chauncey Stillman. For three generations, the Tozer and Brown families have walked these trails, explored these fields, and cherished these gardens. In this new era of Wethersfield, Zibby’s steadfast support, enthusiasm, and leadership have played a meaningful role in shaping our continued growth and success. Her devotion embodies the spirit of stewardship that sustains this extraordinary place.

Holly Kelly, Perrin Martin, and Natasha Blodgett are the co-chairs of this much-celebrated event. Vicki Salnikoff will be our Live Auctioneer.
