The Gathering
The Artful Table On the Grace of Gathering
Intimate, seasonal, and unhurried
Thursday, June 11, 2026. Tahilla Farm, Peterborough, New Hampshire.
There is a particular pleasure in arriving home with flowers in your arms, a market basket filled with delicious food, the table still to set, and the whole afternoon ahead. The Artful Table is a day shaped around the quiet pleasures of summer hospitality. Flowers cut from the garden, a table laid with care, food brought to the table on generous platters, and the particular satisfaction of welcoming people well.
Whether you love to entertain and want fresh inspiration, or find hosting more daunting than delightful, this day is for you. Practical wisdom will be woven throughout, not as a checklist, but as a way of seeing. You don’t need any experience. Just bring your appetite for a lovely day.
I've written more about the spirit of this gathering on the blog. I hope you'll take a look.
The Day
What to Expect
Beatrice Sannino opens the morning with a table styling demonstration, exploring the visual language of the al fresco table. How flowers, herbs, market produce, linens, and a few well-chosen pieces can come together into something that feels abundant and alive. Amy Meyers then speaks to the grace of hosting, sharing the small, unhurried gestures that make guests feel genuinely at ease from the moment they arrive. Warm, practical, and full of ideas you will find yourself reaching for all summer long. Carolyn Hough shapes the lunch itself, offering a way of cooking and serving that feels as generous and unforced as the day around it. Seasonal, beautiful and entirely without fuss.
In the afternoon we move to the garden, cutting flowers from Tahilla Farm and creating a small arrangement to take home. A quiet, hands-on ending to a day spent in the company of beautiful things.
Every guest will leave with Grace Notes, a small illustrated keepsake booklet of tips, recipes, and seasonal inspiration to return to all summer long, and one more surprise, handmade locally, waiting for you at the door.
