Horseradish and Herb Festival

Well the festival was a success even though the weather was chilly. We are already making plans for next years event. Some things will change and some will remain the same. I hope everyone will return as a vendor or as a visitor. Spending time with my friends was a blast! Mark your calendars for 2012 - June 22 & 23. The name will change to "Wild Thyme Herb Festival."  A big THANK YOU to the Heinz Co. for all the Horseradish Sauce they so generously donated to us which we gave away in a drawing to many of the visitors. Enjoy the pictures from this years event.

Fairy Garden

The fairy garden is coming along fine. The grandchildren love hearing all the folklore about the plants in the garden, such as the foxglove which the fairies use for their clothes. Then there is the thyme that is a must for them to sleep upon. One evening as the fireflies started to appear, my grandson got very excited and was sure he saw the fairies moving about the garden. We watched and listened as we talked about how the fairies love to dance and needed the light to see and the bluebells provided their music. We also placed some jewels about the garden because they like shiny objects, but made sure we did not add any metal items. We also added a gazing ball because as you know fairies are very vain! It is a great way to get the kids involved with gardening and add a little adventure at the same time.
