About the Show:
When Adelma’s goat farm fails, she seeks another endeavor for her beloved Caprilands farm in Coventry, CT. With a rosemary shrub’s help, she uncovers her passion for herb gardening. Ingenuity and devotion turn Caprilands into a legendary garden with magical plants. Inspired by the life and work of Adelma Grenier Simmons.
Featuring: a silly goat, talking herbs and of course, Adelma as a spunky hand puppet
Recommended for ages 6 and up.
Content warning: includes one character who grows old and passes away.
About Genna Beth:

She created this piece after taking a hand puppetry class and discovering how much fun it is to perform in a booth. As a lover of local history, she seeks to keep this bit of Connecticut history alive and share a love of all things plants with this one-woman show.
