Now that the warm weather is finally upon us, bet you are looking for some fun for the family on a summer afternoon? Or, maybe you’ve been waiting to buy that gorgeous maple tree, knowing that Double Points Day for Seed Reward Members would roll around soon? Or, maybe you just wanted to hear great music and have a cold beer and a hot brat in the shade of the hydrangea garden?
The wait is nearly over! That day is right around the corner! We have a great line up planned for you and your family on Saturday July 15 at the nursery! And, yes, you guessed it, it’s DOUBLE POINTS DAY too! Plus, all barn decor is 20% off on Saturday and Sunday. And we might have a surprise visit from Harriet, or favorite Highland Scottish cow. She’s just about ready to become a mom, so may not be able to make the trip if she has her baby before the event.
Load up the minivan, or grab a friend and swing into the nursery for The Summer Festival. Event hours are noon until 7 p.m. The nursery opens at 9 a.m., and many vendors will be happy to see you then! The sweet treats, the crepes, the brats, and lots of other goodies will be ready for you! We’ve got an obstacle course for your young Ironmen and other fun activities for kids.
LakeTown Sound will take the stage at 4 and play until the end of the party! LakeTown Sound is a local gem, and its music will take you back to 70’s, 80’s and 90’s! You’ll be up dancing and singing along!
The nursery is filled with absolutely gorgeous plants. The displays will inspire you, and you’ll likely find so much more since your last visit. Our Renaissance man, Ciro, built a water feature in one of our greenhouses that you’ll want in your garden! We expect a big shipment of rice hull pots that are fully recyclable and tolerant to our winters. You won’t believe the high energy colors! A huge shipment of birdbaths arrived, new garden trellises and arbors, including a new circle ‘moon’ arbor. Ornamental grasses, shrubs, trees, perennials and vines come together to create our garden-like setting.
We’re excited to have many of our favorite vendors with us again for the festival, as well as new ones — nearly 30 vendors in all.
Admission is free so plan to while away a fun-filled summer afternoon at the nursery. We can’t wait to see you!
