Inaugural Garden Hop
On a lovely, sunny spring afternoon (May 12, 2011 to be exact) several members of the Garden Club enjoyed our first Garden Hop. The Hop began at the Tarantola Garden, a private garden in Goshen. Our host Inga showed us around the 4 acre property, of which about half was planned garden area. The gravel paths wound through shaded garden areas and around a sunny pond.
After our guided stroll with Inga we headed over to River Bend Farm just off Highway 58. Owner Annette Pershern gave a brief tour of the orchard and talked about the life of a modern day family farmer.
It was a rare, sunny afternoon and it was delightful to spend it with the company of fellow gardeners and farmers.

We will be planting a new tree for the center round bed, and hauling/shoveling soil and mulch. Coffee will be provided. Plus clean pots will be available to transplant any plants the get displaced by the tree.
