Open Garden at Rosie McVay’s

Rosie McVay will open her garden from 4 to 6 pm on Tuesday, July 14. This year we have different rules,  Everyone brings their own drink and snack and (chair if they wish).   Come join Rosie (at a respectful distance, masks at times may be helpful!)

Rosie has a peaceful, conservation garden. The garden features a labyrinth in the front garden and in the back a fenced vegetable patch, fruit trees, berries and masses of perennials. A pavilion roofed with solar panels and a water feature with cistern filled with rainwater from the roof of the house complete the conservation theme.

July 14 - 4pm to 6pm

Update

Robin Lang will open her garden from 4 to 6pm on July 8 (Wednesday).  This year we have different rules,  Everyone brings their own drink and snack and (chair if they wish).   Come join Robin (at a respectful distance, masks at times may be helpful!)

Robin has 1/2 acre, part wooded area she has tried for 27 years to rid of prickly plants and get some natives. Her latest project is turning a major part of the back from lawn to native plants. She started this 3 years ago and In the second year a huge black locust tree had to come out, changing shade to sun.  Her yard remains a work in progress, but Robin says it is starting to look better. It's more natural.
