Greetings to our Gardening Friends !
Please join us this Friday, 7/27 at 3:30 in the afternoon (until 4:30 or 5:00) for LEMONADE, WINE & STORY TIME including liquid refreshments, old photos and Mikl’s stories of Harlequin’s Gardens:
The history of the property and how it was found and won; how the nursery business got started, the structures built, etc; early characters who helped us get started; snake stories, skunk stories; grasshoppers; the wind that blew the trailer over; struggles with the beaurocracy; how Harlequin’s has grown and survived for 20 years and more.
