AUGUSTA, KY: ROSEMARY CLOONEY MUSEUM, LAVENDER HILLS and ASBURY MEADOWS GARDENS & TEA
Thursday, June 24

A scenic drive to Augusta and the ROSEMARY CLOONEY MUSEUM opened by former Lt. Governor Stephen Henry and his wife Heather Renee French Henry, Miss America in 2000, in Rosemary’s former Kentucky home. The museum includes material from the Clooney family plus a room of Heather’s gowns and collections from her reign as Miss America. Next we’re off to Blue Lick State Park where we enjoy a luncheon buffet prepared especially for our tour—with the chef’s focus on cooking with herbs. After lunch we’ll enjoy a presentation from the owner of LAVENDER HILLS FARM about the growing and uses of this aromatic and soothing plant. Afterward we drive on to the Victorian elegance of Asbury Meadows B&B for a house tour, light ENGLISH TEA, and time to tour their amazing gardens including; A RABBIT GARDEN (home to silky, Flemish bunnies), A KENTUCKY SHADE GARDEN and COUNTRY KITCHEN GARDEN. We will also have a chat with our hostess regarding the development of their newest garden just starting this spring—A BIBLICAL GARDEN
