Shoofly Quilt Garden

The Shoofly Quilt Garden in front of the Farmstead Inn has been planted! We spent most of the day Wednesday digging in the dirt, creating a Shoofly Quilt out of vinca. We had a total of 24 volunteers helping over the course of 7 hours.

The official Quilt Gardens Tour opens Memorial Day through October 1. There are 32 sites along the tour (16 gardens and 16 murals). Don't miss this FUN, FREE and FANTASTIC experience! www.QuiltGardensTour.com

Bring on the Dirt!

They have begun hauling in dirt to create the platform for our Shoofly Quilt Garden! We estimate it will take over 25 dump truck loads to create the 12% grade. The goal of the hill is to enhance the pattern's viewability.


Next week we will begin preparing the area for planting, and if the weather cooperates we will plant the 4,900 annuals on Wednesday. Hope you can come out and see it in full bloom this summer!
