The Frances M. Peacock Lecture Series

In 1995, Mrs. Robert C. Peacock, a long-standing member of The Garden Club of Barrington, made a bequest to establish an educational lecture series. The Club continues to honor Mrs. Peacock’s legacy through educational programs and initiatives which reflect her passions including horticulture, floral design, and conservation — to the lasting benefit of our members and the broader community.
