A fun feature of belonging to the society is visiting members' gardens to see what they're growing. All of our gardens are unique and reflect our individual interests. Some of our members are passionate about their flower gardens while others are passionate about growing their own food. Our gardeners love to trade seeds and share thoughts around the best techniques and the best varieties. So much experience and wisdom is shared during a garden visit.
These are the Lemonade in the Garden visits that are scheduled so far for this summer, weather permitting:
Bob Ruault's garden - June 8th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. - Garden Orientation @ 1:00 p.m.
