Tasha Tudor, May She Rest In Peace


I received an e-mail message by "Early Bird Post" from Tasha's family with the sub-heading: "Farewell June 2008"
Subject Line: Tasha Tudor, 1915-2008

Here is the message:
"It is with great sadness that we must tell you Tasha Tudor, 92, passed away in her Vermont home on June 18, 2008 surrounded by family and friends. We have created an online memorial website and invite all who loved Tasha to share their feelings and memories in the Memory Book section. Memorial Website

The office of Tasha Tudor and Family is closed for the time being and will reopen on June 30th.

Due to the extensive travel plans of our national and international guests, the Secret Garden Tours of Tasha Tudor and Family will proceed as scheduled. They will, however, be led by our capable staff, instead of the family.

We thank you for supporting Tasha Tudor's lifestyle and artwork during her long career. We hope that Tasha's message of 'taking joy' in all that one does will be remembered as we pass through this difficult time together.

-The Tudor Family

The gloom of the world is but a shadow; behind it, yet, within our reach, is joy. Take Joy.

We say goodbye to a most remarkable woman and gardener. Goodbye, Tasha, we love you; I know heaven is even more beautiful now that you are there. I hope you will be allowed to tend a corner where there are sweetpeas, violas, and dianthus. And, where corgi angels scramble at your heels. You have earned your rest.
