Come for the music and stay for the beauty of the garden sure to be in bloom in all its springtime glory.
About the organist:
Organist Margaret “Meg” Harper has been hailed by The Diapason magazine for her “impeccable” playing and by the Boston Musical Intelligencer for “outstandingly lively, punchy” performances. Croatian newspaper Glas Slavonije writes, “The freezing cold of a January evening dominated the cathedral in Djakovo, but it could not diminish the richness and warmth of sound brought out of the cathedral organ by Margaret Harper.”
Meg currently serves as the Director of Music at Trinity Episcopal Church in Princeton, New Jersey. At Trinity, she oversees one of the landmark Episcopal music programs in this country, including multiple choirs that have released many critically acclaimed recordings over the years. Before coming to Trinity, Meg served parishes in New York, New Hampshire, and Texas. She has taught organ, harpsichord, and keyboard skills at Baylor University, the University of Southern Maine and the Eastman School of Music. Meg holds a DMA and a Performer’s Certificate from the Eastman School of Music.
Meg is a passionate advocate for new music and has presented premiere performances of new works by composers including Cecilia McDowall, George Baker, Philip Moore, Todd Wilson, and many others. She has served in leadership roles for the Association of Anglican Musicians, the Royal School of Church Music – America, and the American Guild of Organists. She has presented papers and given featured recitals at conferences of several national organizations, including the American Guild of Organists, Organ Historical Society, Association of Anglican Musicians, and American Bach Society.

Native Plant & Insect Relationships with Morris Arboretum
2026-05-07 10:30 - 12:30
Insects rely on plants for a variety of things, such as food, shelter, and breeding habitat. For our native insects, plant species are of particular importance as they often fill unique needs that other plants cannot.
Join us as we learn how insects and native plants interact and support each other—in both public gardens and our own backyards.
After an indoor lecture, we will move outside to explore the plants and pollinators in the gardens of Stoneleigh.
This program will take place at Stoneleigh: a natural garden.
Registration through Morris Arboretum.
