‘Diplomatic Gardens’ at City Tavern

Kitty Skallerup drew an enthusiastic crowd as guests responded to her invitation to celebrate “Diplomatic Gardens of Washington,” the stunning new book by photographer Ann Stevens and her husband Giles Kelly, a former U.S. diplomat and author. The crowd fit comfortably into the City Tavern Club June 19 and eagerly waited for signed copies as they enjoyed good company. Several diplomatic spouses, including the wives of the ambassadors of Germany and Italy, who enjoy the lovely gardens featured in the book, were present to share their good fortune.
