The Hamilton College Arboretum Third Saturday series continues on Saturday, April 18, with research historian and garden history consultant Christie Higginbottom. She will give a lecture titled “Fashion in Flowers: Ornamental Gardens in the Early Nineteenth Century” at 10 a.m. in the Taylor Science Center’s Kennedy Auditorium.

Christie Higginbottom has worked as a costumed interpreter at Old Sturbridge Village since 1981. She coordinated the historic horticulture program researching, planning and planting the re-created kitchen and flower gardens at the museum’s historic households. Higginbottom also supervised the Village’s Herb Garden collection, a garden exhibiting over 300 varieties of historic herbs.
