The Whirl: Flowers Cottage Ribbon-Cutting

On Aug. 18, the Dix Park Conservancy celebrated the opening of Flowers Cottage with a ribbon-cutting ceremony. This long-loved Dorothea Dix Park destination overlooks the iconic Flowers Field and now hosts a coffee shop and bar operated by local hospitality pros Jeff Clarke and Justin Pasfield. Following the ribbon-cutting, guests had an opportunity to tour Flowers Cottage and sample its new snack and beverage options.
