NORTHAMPTON, Mass.—As fall colors fade outdoors,
a riot of color is unfurling indoors at Smith’s annual chrysanthemum show,
which features spectacular arrangements of exotic standard mums, Japanese-style cascades
and multi-colored hybrids. A popular college and community tradition since the early
1900s, this year’s show will include a display of sculptural portraits by Smith
art students.
The exhibit, which is open daily from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.,
will run from Saturday, Nov. 4, to Sunday, Nov. 19. Parking is available on College
Lane during the show.
 Kicking
off this year’s show will be a lecture at 7 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 3, in Seelye
106, titled “Captivating Gardens in Our Continental Backyard; Visual Memoirs
of an Addicted Photographer.” Robert E. Lyons, director of Longwood Graduate
Program in Public Horticulture and an award-winning photographer, will present a
slide show of garden treasures he’s come across within the continental United
States and Canada. Following the lecture, there will be a reception and preview of
the chrysanthemum show in the illuminated Lyman Conservatory.
All events are free, open to the public and wheelchair
accessible.
