SUMMARY:Second Sunday Garden Forum
DESCRIPTION:Every winter\, Project GREEN hosts a series of three educational presentations about gardening and environmental topics. These are held at the Iowa City Public Library\, and are free and open to the public. \nA representative from Brucemore will speak about the impact of the derecho that hit the Midwest in August 2020 with winds of over 110 mph and recovery efforts. The hurricane force winds damaged Brucemore’s 26-acre gardens\, seven historic buildings\, gates\, and much of the statuary. More than 70% of the tree canopy was destroyed.  \nFor the past 100 years\, Brucemore’s landscape has served as a living record\, showcasing the history of the estate and the work of famed landscape architect Ossian Cole Simonds who designed much of the gardens between 1910-1930. This site’s story is a lens to the past and a reminder of the people\, events and drive that shaped the local community. Despite the devastation\, there is hope\, as thoughtful consideration and planning have begun to move forward in restoring Brucemore. \nThe Second Sunday Garden Forums are cosponsored by Project GREEN and the Iowa City Public Library. The events are free and open to the public.

SUMMARY:Preservation Tour

Executive Director David Janssen will lead you on a special look at the on-going preservation work that helps ensure the property is around for the next 100 years.

The tour will include access to buildings not usually open to the public as well as a look at Phase II of the Mansion Envelope Restoration Project. Each tour will offer a different perspective as various parts of the project are completed throughout the summer. \n  \nAbout the Mansion Envelope Restoration Project \nIn 2018\, Brucemore kicked off a three-phase Mansion Envelope Restoration Project.

Phase I of the Mansion Envelope Restoration project to stabilize and restore the enclosed Service Porch was completed in April 2019.  Phases II and III will focus on the roof\, north\, south\, east\, and west facades of the mansion\, specifically restoring the roof cresting and slate\, window glass and wood\, exterior trim\, doors\, light fixtures\, and exterior brick walls. \n DATES: \n\nAugust 20\, 5:30 p.m.\nSeptember 22\, 3:30 p.m.  \nOctober 10\, 5:30 p.m.  (canceled)\n\nADMISSION   \n\n$15.00 per adult \n$10.00 per student\nBrucemore members receive a $5 discount per ticket\, quantity based on level – please “sign-in” using the link in the upper right corner to apply member discounts or call (319) 362-7375.\n\n  \nIMPORTANT INFORMATION FOR YOUR VISIT \n\nArrival: We ask that you arrive via our main entrance\, 2160 Linden Drive SE.
