Louisville, KY. – Whitehall House & Gardens is pleased to announce that it will host its second annual Garden Party at the historic mansion at 3110 Lexington Road on Friday, June 7. The festivities will begin at 6:30 p.m. with cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a silent auction in the formal garden, followed by a seated dinner under the tent on the garden terrace. The dinner will be followed by live music courtesy of Superfecta.
Individual tickets to the Garden Party are $200 per person. Tickets for the event may be purchased at https://my.bidpal.net/whitehallgardenparty. Sponsors of this year’s event include Bartlett Wealth Management; Dwyer DesignScapes; Highland Cleaners; Kentucky Select Properties; Sterling Thompson Company; and Stites & Harbison.
Whitehall House & Gardens
Proceeds from the Garden Party will benefit Whitehall House & Gardens, a historic home owned and operated by the nonprofit Historic Homes Foundation. The mansion began its life in the 1850s as an Italianate farmhouse. After extensive renovations in 1909, the house was transformed into the Classical Greek Revival-style mansion known today as Whitehall. Its collection features original gaslight fixtures and French and American antiques. Guided tours are offered Monday-Friday, at 11 a.m. and 1 p.m.
At just under ten acres, Whitehall’s gardens have become the primary focus of its educational outreach, offering unique opportunities for both the amateur and professional horticulturalist. Throughout the year the public is invited to participate in workshops, lectures, and tours – all inspired by Whitehall’s special collection of trees and plants. A small, but ever-growing arboretum features over 200 trees, including a rare specimen collection that has become an important resource for propagation of interesting species. Whitehall’s woodland garden, a Victorian stumpery nestled in a wooded corner of the grounds, presents a regionally unprecedented collection of ferns and other woodland plants. Not only a popular tour destination for garden clubs and other horticultural groups, the garden has received national recognition as an official display garden of the Hardy Fern Foundation. The gardens are open to the public free of charge from sunup to sundown 7 days per week all 12 months of the year.

Does your garbage or recycling cart need repaired?
It's easy to request a free repair for your garbage or recycling cart!
- Jot down or take a photo of the serial number found on the side of your broken cart.
- Contact Metro311 through their website or use the Metro311 app. (You can also dial 311 to speak to the call center.)
- Choose "Waste Container Request."
- Choose "Damaged" as the issue and fill in the rest of the form. Common issues are broken lid hinge, missing lid, broken lift bar, cracked cart body, broken wheel, etc.
- Leave your cart out at least till 4 p.m. on the day of collection so the contractor can repair the cart after it's been emptied by the collection crew.
The number one reason why carts aren't repaired after a request is submitted is that the cart is on private property. It must be in the collection location for the contractor to repair it. They will replace the cart if it is broken beyond repair.
How can you keep your cart in good condition? Be Cart Smart!
-
Bring it in! Carts are often stolen, damaged, or used by others if left out. Bring your carts back onto your property and store in a secure location after collection.
-
Don’t overload! The cart shouldn’t be too heavy and the lid must be able to close. This helps keep it from getting damaged during collection.
-
Keep it clean! Simply rinse your cart with soap and water from time to time.
-
Identify it! Write your address on your cart and take a photo of the serial number located on its side so you can easily identify it as yours.

The Air Pollution Control District took the time to encourage residents to familiarize themselves with air quality tools and resources that are available to them. Notably:
- Residents can sign up to receive alerts when air quality is forecast to be poor, this is especially valuable for sensitive groups like older adults, children, and those with pre existing conditions like asthma.
- Residents can access live air quality conditions and health guidance 24/7 with resources like APCD’s Louisville Air Watch at lousivilleky.gov/air (graphic attached)
- If residents see or experience air pollution issues like odors, open burning, or dust we encourage them to report those to us with as much detail as possible (graphic attached)
We also encourage local businesses to sign up as Air Quality Action Partners by taking a few voluntary steps to improve air quality in Louisville.

"We are excited to bring ROARchestra back to Louisville after 15 years," said Graham Parker, Chief Executive of the Louisville Orchestra.
