Summers Past Farms

At the entrance to Summers Past Farms, a maze entices children to run among the flowers and enjoy games of hide-and-seek. Right now six feet of sweet peas and sunflowers line the maze in all their abundance. I brought Carol and Nikki here two years ago; we enjoyed the gardens and listened to a guitar concert. There's something for everyone here: gardens to roam, a nursery from which to purchase flowers, a gift shop, a soap shop, craft classes, a coffee bar with a shaded seating area, a petting zoo, a children's garden, a shade garden with a fountain and a stream running through it, plus multiple garden areas in all sorts of themes.



This is one of the garden areas, complete with a fairy. The deep blues of the foxgloves is so breathtaking; this photo barely captures it.



And they even have a garden cat named "Autumn" in the gift shop; here she drapes herself over the sales counter in the gift shop.

I will post more photos on my 365 Extras. I took over 100 photos today while E browsed the gift shops and the boys ran about....
