This garden is open twice this year: August 3 and October 19.

The garden is my sanctuary, my activity, and my happy place. Although I do have flowers and herbs, my passion is food for the family. The spot includes a small orchard of fifteen fruit trees, apples, peaches, plums, pears, apricots, and cherries. Our berries include blueberries, goji berries, elderberries, and black, red, and champagne currants. The concord grapes provide us with lots of juice for the winter months. Seasonally we grow all five kinds of tomatoes, cucumbers, peppers, squash, eggplant, and all the other "regular veggies." Our homestead also boasts two dairy goats, a dozen chickens, and a hive of honey bees. The joy I get from my hands working the soil is better than any therapy.

This garden's estimated size is ¼ acre.
