Every April, cascades of flowering nasturtium vines are draped from the Courtyard balconies, signaling the beginning of spring and continuing a practice Isabella started in 1904. The vines are grown from seeds sown in late summer and cultivated in the greenhouses through winter. Ten gardeners are required to create the Hanging Nasturtiums installation, and the result is a stunning display seen nowhere else.
 

This evening's celebration is in memory of Rachel Jacoff, a dedicated board member and longtime supporter of the nasturtiums.

The Hanging Nasturtiums installation is supported by Vivien and Alan Hassenfeld and Elizabeth and Matthew Denison. Courtyard displays in April are made possible, in part, by the Sorenson Fund for Horticulture. Landscape and Horticulture public programs are supported by the Barbara E. Millen and Markley H. Boyer Endowment Fund.
 

The Museum receives operating support from the Massachusetts Cultural Council, which is supported by the state of Massachusetts and the National Endowment for the Arts.
