F E A T U R E D STORY

Two of Naples finest organizations working together to give you more!

The Naples Historical Society is proud to announce that it is working in conjunction with the Naples Botanical Garden to give you even more for your membership. Effective immediately, show your Naples Botanical Garden membership card and receive $2 off any of the tours offered at Historic Palm Cottage. Now is the time to try the Society's delightful Guided Garden Tour in The Norris Gardens at Palm Cottage. In return, show your Naples Historical Society membership card and receive $2 off admission to the Naples Botanical Garden. Almost every facet of gardens or gardening is now available through both of these worthwhile organizations. This is a unique collaborative effort to provide education about gardens and history.

Don't forget: When you come to tour Palm Cottage or the Norris Garden, be sure you stop in our 16-seat museum theater and watch one of the Oral History Films. A different film is shown each week. Show your NHS membership and you see them all for FREE! Also, be sure to visit our website to review popular historical photos or call us to learn more about getting some for your own gallery! http://www.napleshistoricalsociety.org

Be a part of history and help by joining our mission to preserve our past for the future. Questions or comments? Send an e-mail to nhs@napleshistoricalsociety.org.

Featured Volunteer: Barb Jones

We couldn't talk about our beautiful garden without acknowledging our volunteer and docent, Barb Jones. Barb takes it upon herself to keep a keen eye and green thumb on The Norris Gardens at Palm Cottage. She spends endless hours making sure that the garden is always looking its best. Thank you Barb for your commitment to keeping history (and our plants) alive!

Do you know someone who would like to volunteer their time at Palm Cottage? Are you interested in learning more about Naples rich and vibrant history?
