Oh my gosh - it's been really hot this weekend! The flowers of summer are glorious; come see what a summer garden looks like. Check our calendar for hours - we're limiting our hours a bit in July & August. Bring a plastic bag if you'd like to pick some elderberries from our tree. This is also a great year for butterflies and other pollinators. These pictures are from 7/8-9/2017.
