Garden Tour


When a long-time friend asked if our mom, Cindy, would have her yard on the Garden Tour her first response was, “No!" Then she said, "Oh, why not!" At the first signs of spring she got to work and the results of her hard work were amazing.

Outdoor Dining Space
Cindy calls her yard a work in progress and it probably will always be.  “I love the tulips, daffodils and the bright yellow forsythia of early spring and when those have past their bloom along come the iris, the snowball tree, poppies and then the roses. Late summer brings the full tomato plants, all you can pick basil, massive sunflowers and my little granddaughters eating handfuls of blackberries and raspberries straight from the bush.”

Back Patio
Cindy’s garden has been the setting for yard parties, baby showers, hot dog roasts and late night gatherings lasting all the way to the first frost. Most Saturdays you will find us meeting over morning coffee and something Skylar has baked. There is always a lot of laughter to be found here.
