Hey friends! As this weekend comes to a close, we’re already looking forward to next weekend, as our 2026 Music in the Garden Series kicks off with Hey Mavis, Saturday at 6p.
This Northcoast Americana band has been weaving a musical tapestry and igniting a following of dedicated fans. With heartfelt vocals, honest songwriting, blazing instrumental solos, and an undeniable onstage musical chemistry, this quartet is the definition of great Americana music.
Bring a lawn chair and join us for this free concert!

Friendly Reminder: PLEASE KEEP THE GATE CLOSED AT ALL TIMES!!!! While we love the local deer population, but they are a huge nuisance to all of our hard work. There have been several instances of the gate being left open this season thus far, and the deer have noticed. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE do not leave the gate open for any reason other then when you are entering or leaving 🦌

Thanks you to all who helped with our fundraiser. These 80 yards of Sweet Peat will be added to help amend our soil and your donations make purchases like this possible. Our community truly is the best and we are grateful for each and every one of you. Who else is excited to get their hands dirty in a few short weeks?
