Do you have a budding Mary Cassatt or Winslow Homer at home? If your refrigerator is covered with your child's artistic creations, enter them in Cheshire Patch's "Art in the Garden" contest.
We're proud to partner with Cheshire Nursery Garden Center & Flower Shop and the Cheshire Art League for the 4th annual Art Show and Sale at The Cheshire Nursery.
In conjunction with the show, Cheshire Patch is holding a children's art contest with a grand prize of a $50 gift certificate.
