Garden Spotlight #2: A Living Legacy

Step into a landscape that’s been evolving since 1981! This island home features historic stone walls, terraced beds, and a serene pond with a waterfall.

What’s New? The orchard and vegetable garden have moved south to catch the full sun, while the lower fenced area now blooms with berries, dahlias, and gladiolas.

Fun Fact: Chickens alternate between the garden and orchard to help with weeding and fertilizing!

As the owners say, "The garden is never static." Come see this ever-changing sanctuary in person.

Garden Spotlight #5: The Serene Labyrinth

Step into a labor of love! For nearly 14 years, this couple has transformed a neglected, overgrown woodland into a thriving 2.5-acre sanctuary.

Built with Heart: Using mostly repurposed materials, they’ve created a serene labyrinth featuring: Flowers, herbs, fruits, and vegetables, Hand-built structures (flower shed, greenhouse, animal enclosures). A tranquil pond and gravel pathways connecting five distinct garden spaces.

The Vibe: This is a space designed where time stops. It’s a place to gather, connect with the earth, and discover something new with every walk through the grounds. As the owners say, "Every day we attain more knowledge about our unique property just by walking through it."

Come experience the beauty of patience and purpose in action.

Tour Date: Saturday, June 27
