On the morning of Wednesday, June 10, retired Adjunct Professor Andrea Florendo spoke at Thomas Berry Place, a spiritual retreat center here in Jamaica, on the theme of her book Romance of the Enclosed Garden: Song of Songs (https://readingglassbooks.com/product/romance-of-the-enclosed-garden-song-of-songs/). Afterwards, she conducted a tour of the Mary Garden she designed on the Center’s grounds. Later that evening, she showcased some of her pressed flower art at the Princess Grace Kelly exhibit at the American Irish Historical Society in Manhattan. There, she also met with Geraldine Byrne Nason, the Ambassador of Ireland to the United States (in royal blue). Congrats Prof. Florendo on a successful — and very busy — day! 👏 Thomas Berry Place American Irish Historical Society
