What do the Himalayas and gardening clubs have in common? The extraordinary life behind the estate of a Greenwich landscape designer and world traveler.
Black Rock Galleries is pleased to offer the curated contents from the estate of Kathleen "Honey" Milligan Strait, a respected horticulturist, writer, educator, and founder of the Garden Conservancy. Over a career spanning more than four decades, Honey shaped gardens throughout the Northeast while sharing her expertise through newspaper columns, lectures, and radio broadcasts. Her interests extended far beyond the garden gate. An avid sailor, photographer, and world traveler, Honey climbed to 18,000 feet in the Himalayas, followed the Silk Road, and explored 45 countries across the globe.
The collection offered here reflects those wide-ranging pursuits, bringing together property acquired through decades of travel, study, and personal discovery. From decorative arts and furnishings to objects gathered along the way, bidders will find an eclectic and thoughtfully assembled offering. Happy bidding!
