Garden

Our garden has developed into a beautifully landscaped adventure in color and design. Please feel free to visit and enjoy the incredibly exciting and vibrant atmosphere. Feel free to taste the vegies and especially to pull a few weeds. This summer we added a Japanese Garden and we'll work on the Colonial Herb Garden this fall. We owe many thanks to Gerie Wilson who put in countless hours over the past two years to help our garden grow and thrive. Be sure to pass along your compliments to her in particular.
