The garden path says welcome
And where it will lead.
Come and join me
and find peace and tranquility.

Hello,

I'm hosting self-guided garden tours of my flower gardens At the Farm this summer. I love to share my beautiful gardens. I've had great success with this so far. Dozens of guests have enjoyed touring my gardens.

You can come to the barn and then stroll up to the flower gardens. Then sit a spell in my corn crib gazebo or on the chairs scattered about, and just enjoy the splendor, while you sip a glass of lemonade or ice water on Friday and Saturday 11 am to 2 pm

August Dates: 6-7, 13-14, 20-21

The Antique Loft will be open on these dates too! Don't miss a chance to purchase these treasures I've gathered.
