The Horticultural Society of New York will hold its Annual Fall Luncheon on Thursday, November 1, 2012 at 11:45am at The Metropolitan Club. Awards of Excellence will be presented to Millicent Mercer Johnsen and Joanne Oplustil, and the Barbara A. Margolis Award will be given to Tupper Thomas. Guests are in for a horticultural treat when author and Martha Stewart Living Gardening Editorial Director Stephen Orr speaks about his love of horticulture and his media experience as a gardening expert. For additional information, please call Stephanie Chin at 212.757.0915, or send her an email at [email protected].
For the perfect outfit for a horticultural luncheon, we went looking for a fall print that was loosely floral-inspired, and we found just what we were looking for at SAKS.com. We absolutely adore the chic sophistication of this Etro in the softest silk/cashmere knit blend, printed with a beautifully rendered floral motif. It is equally stunning both coming and going, and is the kind of dress that is so versatile and useful in your wardrobe now that the chillier weather is upon us. It is no wilting wallflower and can stand up to some serious statement accessories like the Oscar de la Renta Earrings, and Michael Kors Haircalf Satchel.

The mission of the Horticultural Society of New York is to sustain the vital connection between people and plants.
