The Petit Family Foundation Paint and Sip Fundraiser (SESSION TWO 2pm) OPEN TO THE PUBLIC $20

A favorite flower of Michaela's, Four O' Clocks are so named because they open their flowers in the late afternoon. They are very beautiful and are known for their aromatic fragrance.

Michaela Petit's Four O' Clocks were named the Official Children's State Flower of Connecticut on June 19, 2015.

Michaela's Garden Project was the vision of Michaela's Uncle, Dennis Chapman. For the past twelve summers, Michaela's Four O' Clocks have been re-planted with seeds propagated from her original garden in Cheshire. Today these flowers bloom and thrive in gardens throughout Connecticut and even further afield. There are many official Michaela's Garden locations planted around the state to honor her memory.

All proceeds from this fundraising event will go to support the mission of the Petit Family Foundation. The Foundation supports organizations which help to improve the lives of those affected by chronic illnesses, to foster the education of young people, especially women in the sciences, and to support efforts to protect and help those affected by violence.
